I hope people find it more engaging. Let me answer the video question more tangentially like this. The vast majority of Gen AI video companies have asked us for an API so that they can have, you know, Suno music behind their AI videos. And the answer is always no. Why? The reason is we are trying to make music more valuable for people.

And being the background music for your video is not making music more valuable. Like this isn't a cost thing. You can go get Epidemic Sounds music for very, very cheap. And that can be the background for your video.

A very obvious one for me is actually getting off of Discord. We released our first product in August of last year. And in November, we put up a very thin web app. And I got this totally wrong. I said, we're going to be on Discord forever. I look at Midjourney, they're printing money. It's just a Discord bot. Now it's not, but at the time it was.

I did not appreciate just how much a good UI will totally change the experience for people. Discord is not the best UI for what it is that we do. It's better for mid journey than it is for music, but like so much more is possible. We released this web app, which is not even the full functionality of the Discord bot in November. And it takes five days for 90% of the traffic to move over to the web.

Well, nobody leaves Discord service. Now Discord serves a completely different purpose, which is it is a community and it is an amazing resource for us to talk to the community and an amazing resource for us to get feedback from the community. But I think that the product would have reached more people if we had built that web app sooner.
