I think that that has been a healthy balance for us and for getting our products to generally feel the way that we want. And, you know, culture changes over time. Maybe this stuff will be like a little bit less polarized and anger inducing at some point. And maybe it'll be possible to have more of that. while also at the same time having a product where we're proud of how it feels.

I mean, I'm sure it's all connected. I think in this case, it wasn't a trade-off between those two things because this actually was what our community was telling us. And people were saying, generally, we don't want so much politics. Like, this isn't, you know, like, we don't feel good. Like, we want content. We want more stuff from our friends and family.

And the main thing that I care about is making sure that we can be seen as a nonpartisan and, you know, as much as something can in the world in 2024 be sort of like a trusted institution by as many people as possible. And I just think that the partisan politics is so tough in the world right now that...
