So everyone's treating it.
Everyone's treating world events like sports and betting on it and thinking things like, oh, who's going to win the Academy Award?
When will Iran strike Israel before or after March 31st?
So I think prediction markets and the availability of data are two of the big factors.
I do agree.
And I think it's probably broader, part of a broader trend of the red zonification of everything.
It does tie into a lot of how people consume sports now, which is where red zone came along and all of a sudden you don't want to just watch one football game for three hours.
You watch everything.
eight or nine or ten and you are monitoring the situation every nfl sunday and then that was ported over to the olympics and this is how people watch the olympics now with gold zone which is the red zone of the olympics and you got eight things going on at once you're watching curling you're watching you know surfing whatever summer summer or winter olympics it doesn't matter but i think there's a lot of parallels to what's happening in the sports world to the world to current and global events similar to what's happening in prediction markets sort of expanding the purview of sports gambling
Yeah, we don't know a lot about him, but he absolutely changed the content, the online content game forever, not just adult content, but just across the board.
The fact that OnlyFans took a 20% cut of the revenues, content creators took 80%.
You hear stories about how a few OnlyFans creators are making millions and millions and millions of dollars over the course of the year.
One thing we do know about Leo is that he was sort of
predestined to lead an adult online company just from the very beginning.
Back when he was 17, he started his first internet business called Cybertania, which was a website referral business.
His mom actually sent the incorporation papers for him in 1999 while he was still a teenager.
Then he operated websites called Ultimate Passwords, which claimed to offer hacked passwords to pornography sites.
And then this sort of snowballed into when he started something called
A website called MyFreeCams in 2004, which blended casual online chats with sexually explicit live content.
So he was always on the journey to lead a company like OnlyFans.
