GG Dating is a good one. There's Trip BFF. The software that said, hey, content market fit is as important as product market fit, but they're using 50 creators.

They just don't have the unit economics that TikTok shop does. TikTok shock is great because there's a get rich dynamic that is material, but you can literally calculate out the way you calculate like meta ads ROAS and like be in the mix of, that's amazing. Software, you have to like look at, it's much more, it's a little more intangible, but that's literally happening.

And it's like 16, 18 people who've become like, hundreds of thousands of followers. And we're not the only one. There's other people that are doing that. But all this is happening in these closet communities. The only people that know about that, I don't go run a million ads about that or talk about it every day.
