We know that 10 years ago, less than that, you were worried about anti-Semitic content on our platform, and now we're the future of TV partnered with the NFL and the Oscars.
But I think when you look at that deep concern about Silicon Valley's encroaching impact on the traditional media business, you have a lot of traditional media players who say, okay, well, who's our best bet?
Who's our best guy?
And the best guy at this point is Netflix and Disney.
And so if the fight is like, well, we'd rather Netflix...
have Warner Brothers Discovery, and that creates enough engagement to continue supporting the artistic community so it's not just Mark Rober and Mr. Beast on Netflix and Amazon, then we're going to support that versus the guy who we don't know can get this through.
I think it's whatever Bob Iger also thinks about AI.
And I think, well, maybe not, because I think Bob Iger looks at OpenAI and says, man, imagine if we didn't sue Google and YouTube in 2007, and instead we just asked for a stake in that business and what that would have become, kind of like AOL, Yahoo, and Google.
I mean, I would love to know what David Ellison thinks about AI.
I think he's a guy who deeply does love technology.
If you read through the letter he sent to staff when the Paramount deal was first done with Skydance, he used the term tech and technology more than film, television, entertainment, streaming.
He loves technology.
What he thinks he's going to accomplish by loving AI beyond the enterprise side of it, beyond the like, you know, use this for your Microsoft Word or whatever, and including it in more original content at a time when there was the longest writer's strike in a very long time and actor's strike because of artificial intelligence less than two years ago.
I don't know what he's going to think that he's trying to accomplish.
But he's, again, he's a guy who's making a lot of manic moves very publicly.
And I think that's off-putting to a town very well known for kind of keeping up a very stoic face at times and kind of moving slowly through technological changes.
The word that gets passed around a lot in different executive meetings is quality and not in the sense of we need to protect quality, but more from the nihilistic point of view of just quality matter.
The question of no one thought YouTube was TV.
A lot of these Hollywood executives still thought it was just cat videos up until like the Nielsen gauge started breaking out YouTube consumption on TV sets.
People are worried that if quality doesn't matter and it's just scale, then how do you play into this?
