Now, how big do any of these segments get? I think it's really hard to know until you build them out over time. It feels like it is a category in the world that's going to exist. And how big it gets is kind of dependent on the execution and how good it is.

Well, I think the main difference... And that feels big. Yeah, but in a lot of ways, the big change already happened, which is people getting content that they weren't following. And the definition of feeds and social interaction has changed very fundamentally in the last 10 years. Now, in social systems...

Most of the direct interaction is happening in more private forums and messaging our groups. This is one of the reasons I think why we were late with Reels initially to competing with TikTok is because we hadn't made this mental shift where we kind of felt like, no, feed is where you interact with people.

Actually, increasingly, feed is becoming a place where you discover content that you then take to your private forums and interact with people there. So a lot of the way that I interact with people, it's like, yeah, I'll still have the thing where A friend will post something and I'll comment on it and engage directly in feed.
