So I think, so that's why, you know, and maybe, you know, it doesn't matter on our platforms whether I endorse a candidate or not, but like, I don't even, I don't want to go anywhere near that. And yeah, sure. I mean, you could say that's a political strategy, but I think it's, you know, I think for where we are in the world today, it's very hard.

Almost every institution has become partisan in some way. And we are just trying to resist that. And maybe I'm too naive and maybe that's impossible, but we're going to try to do that.

I'm just talking about where our brand is and our reputation are compared to where I think they would have been. I mean, there's no doubt that even now here in, okay, yeah, sure, maybe things have improved somewhat over the last few years, you can feel the trend, but it's still significantly worse than it was in 2016.

You know, it's, I mean, the internet industry overall, and I think our company in particular, just we're seeing way more positively. And Now, look, there were real issues, right?

So I think that it's always very difficult to talk about this stuff in a nuanced way because I think to some degree before 2016, everyone was sort of too rosy about the internet overall and didn't talk enough about the issues. And then the pendulum sort of swung and people only talked about the issues and didn't talk about the stuff that was positive. And it was all both there the whole time.

Or that there weren't issues with the internet or things like that. I mean, obviously every year, whether it's politics or other things, there are always things that you look back at and you're like, hey, yeah, if I were playing this perfectly, I would have done these things differently.

But I do think it's the case that I didn't really know how to react to something as big of a shift in the world as what happened. And it took me a while to find my footing. And I do think that it's tricky when you're caught up in these kind of big debates. you're not kind of experienced or sophisticated in engaging with that, I think you can make some big missteps.
