you know, kind of real just shopping. I have an intent. I'm in there to get my thing and I'm out. Like they just kind of browse. So pretty, pretty often. And so for us, I think the next leg for us is giving people even more reasons to come back. Like, man, I need services on my house or I need local jobs or, you know, I'm a small business owner. How do I drive more people into my establishment?

OfferUp's perfect for that because we have so much kind of local activity. So, That's a big part of looking at is like, what else can we do now that we have this big audience?

Well, I think because they have so much engagement, it's worth trying these different verticals and seeing if our customers like it. And so, you know, I think we'll constantly be trying new things and seeing, you know, and seeing if people find it really valuable. But I think that's one of the advantages we have because we are a top of mind brand and people come back.

So, I mean, you name it, we will play with it and we'll look at doing it. It doesn't mean that people are going to like it necessarily, but we should still try and do it.

Yeah. I mean, I think all companies need to keep growing. Like no one ever sits in stasis. If you sit in stasis too long, you're just slowly dying, in my opinion. And so that becomes hard as companies get bigger because they do become risk adverse. Things can slow down the machine. And so you sometimes need to just lean in and take calculated bets and see what's going to work.

But sometimes it's not always intuitive. Like most people don't know, I think, AWS and Amazon. You know how that started? They had a bunch of extra computers. And then someone's like, well, what if we just put this on? What if we kind of use this? What are we going to do with all this? Right. So sometimes that's how good ideas come about.

And you just need to have, I'd say, someone, you know, the executive team or the CEO say, hey, we're going to go try this. And the key is. You know, you don't always bet the farm, but in some cases you need to. Like Facebook is a good example. Mark Zuckerberg says we're going all in on mobile phones. And I think that was the right call because that created so much more engagement for Facebook.
