And I think that the art of this is you do it in a way that she doesn't even realize it.
Because I think consumer taste also...
resists just a copy.
I think that if movies, TV shows, books, if they feel too derivative and they're not adding something important and new, then it could go against our consumer taste.
But the best product makers, and I...
love referencing someone like craig newmark and craigslist who took two years to add photos to craigslist listings i was like and he lived in my neighborhood and he was friends with my dog zinga more than he was friends with me he was a little awkward socially and he connected more with the dog and i tried to be friends with him through the dog and so he would sit and talk to me and
And he was working on, I was like, what are you working on?
He said, I've been working for two years on adding photos to listings.
I'm like, what do you mean two years?
He's like, well, I really want to make sure that people like it and that the photos come up in the right ways.

I honestly don't even understand what he did for two years.

And like, that's a world-class product maker because he, what he gets is that his, there's, we feel the sense of ownership of products that we rely on every day.
And we're angry when they change, even if they change for the better, we're like angry because we go through life faster because of pattern recognition.
And we don't want to think about these things.
And what if by adding photos to his listings, he moved where the text was?
And what if you rifle through listings and now the text is below the fold?
You know, and a junior product maker might make the whole thing a picture and not realize that what people liked most was being able to see the text real quick.
