If you want to impact the way a billion people experience music, you have to build something for a billion people. That is first and foremost, giving everybody the joys of creating music. And this is a huge departure from how it is now. It's not really enjoyable to make music now. It takes a lot of time. It takes a lot of practice.

You need to get really good at an instrument or really good at a piece of production software. I think the majority of people don't enjoy the majority of the time they spend making music.

Most people drop out of that pursuit because it was hard. The people that you know that run, this is a highly biased selection of the population that fell in love with it.

Huge open question for how do you do this in a way that doesn't impart just massive bias into models? We work on it a little bit. The bigger players are hitting data walls and are more actively working on it. And like everything else, it's really nice to have the big players solve a lot of the really thorny problems for you. And you can kind of focus on your competitive advantage.

From a customer perspective, at the very least, it would just be a bummer if I had to go to two different places. I don't know if there's any content that you know about that doesn't exist on Spotify that you're looking for, but it's a huge pain in the butt to go to another app to go find it. I don't. There's some audio books, which aren't there yet. Wow. Okay.

That just shows you that there is a lot of friction. And if there were two worlds of music, I think that would A, be friction for the average consumer, but I actually hope it's much more than just consumption. There shouldn't be like a set of fun experiences around making and sharing music.
