It also, I think, has been a huge motivator for the people that work on this because now they're working on one platform and it can increase the velocity where they can build things once and not have to necessarily have teams competing against each other.

And in many ways, this is what positioned us so well, in my opinion, for things like the exclusive NFL playoff game in January and the exclusive NFL game that we had a few weeks ago in Brazil with the Eagles and the Packers. It's also what positioned us so well as a platform, in my opinion, for the Paris Olympics. And it's because we've had this maniacal focus on

how do we get more scale, more efficiency with a real commitment to like, we want streaming to work like TV. And what I mean by that is you don't think about it when you turn on the TV generally. It's a little bit like electricity. You don't think about electricity, unless there's a blackout, then you think about electricity. But the electricity is what powers everything in your house.

Everything that you're using in your house is likely getting powered by electricity. And that was, in a way, the ambition that we had with the platform, which is, can we make the platform so stable, so scalable, that latency, buffering... you know, crashes if too many people are using it, out-of-sync audio with video, all the things that have plagued streaming for years.

Let's do everything we can to just get that right. And if we can do that in a big way, then that gives us permission then to drive innovation. And so we have been, the last two years, really organizing ourselves in that way, building a platform because Live streaming, especially, if you haven't noticed, is very hard, but we've been really committed to that vision.

And I think I'm proud of the team and what we've accomplished because it allowed us to then do something like the Paris Olympics, which we feel really good about because all of the things that we introduced We've wanted to introduce for years, but we didn't believe we had permission to do that until we got what I just call the basics, right?

And to me, the basics are nothing matters from an innovative standpoint if the platform doesn't work. And so I feel like we've been very disciplined and focused on doing that. We've structured ourselves around that ambition over the last couple of years.
