And so I think that we will be sort of singular out there as a publication that will not calibrate at all. And what I want to ask people, because it's part of my resolution, is to, I want to be at a million free subscribers. I want to be a million free subscribers by the end of 2025. And I think we can get there, but you guys have to go tell everybody about the bulwark.

And here's the thing, I'm talking about free subscribers, I'm not talking about paid. Because one of the most interesting things about the bulwark is that we make most things free. And people who become paid subscribers typically do so for one of two reasons. One, they want to go deeper with us as a community member.

And so they get a lot out of being in the comments sections or doing the secret pod with me and JVL. And obviously JVL's triad is one of the, it's sort of the signature gated piece of content, right? There's still like all the YouTube stuff, it's all free.

So I want to be at a million free subscribers, but we're going to need all the people who listen to this podcast to help us and go tell people about the bulwark. We're tipping over, I think, in public consciousness. A lot more people know who we are now than they did before. But I want to go big because I think we will be pretty fearless. I think we deserve an audience that big.

So go tell all your friends.

I mean, try not to libel people if I would like you to try not to. And look, there's probably more lawyers in everybody's future. But no, don't calibrate. You say you're going to care about what you're going to care about. We're going to tell you the truth about what we think. And that's the thing that's made, I think, this really special. But I really want to grow it, not for the sake of...

just more subscribers or because there's some number, but because I believe we make an impact on people's lives. The number of people who come up to us at the shows and talk about how we keep them sane or like they feel in these relationships with us, that feels great to us. And I think that like, I think it's a good thing. I think we should have more subscribers.

I think more people should do this. I think it will help us get through this particular period of time.
