It's a way to help teach people how to use your developer platform.

And if you make your developer platform easier to use and more programmable, then that's good for your business.

Today, even, we're seeing that while there's been a massive drop in the amount of traffic going to media companies, there's still a ton of traffic going from these AI agents and AI systems and answer engines

to kind of e-commerce companies.

Cause you know, you may ask chat GPT, which camera is the best one for me to buy, but you still have to go buy it from somewhere.

And so like, it's going to affect different things in different ways.

And our point is really, really simple, which is it should just be up to you, the creator of the service or the content or,

or whatever it is, should be up to you to say, how is your content being used?

And some people are going to say, I create things in order to help power the future of agents and the future of AI, and I'm happy for all of my content to be given away for free.

Other people are going to say, my business model is to do journalism, and I should get compensated for that.

Well, I think it's way easier to get it to work in this model because the reason that that doesn't work is because it doesn't generate much traffic.

And if it doesn't generate much traffic, then...

In a world where the only thing that determines your value is traffic, then things that are incredibly important research but don't generate much traffic are actually kind of, again, you know, pushed off to the side.

So I actually think it's the old web model that has gotten us to the place where because traffic is the only currency,

that that's actually driving us away from some of these more valuable things.

Those things, if they are filling in the holes in the cheese, like if your real goal is, you know, a super intelligence, you need to fill in as many holes as possible.

And so you're going to be much more willing in that world to pay for truly unique,

trustworthy content.

On the two by two, that's going to be up in the upper right somewhere.

That's going to be incredibly valuable for you.
