I mean, I'm sure they'll try.
I mean, my hope is by that point, we are the platform for all the best agents that work right where you work.
And you'd have to go replicate all of them.
And I'm sure there will be people that will.
But I think most people won't.
And I think that's an important bet for how the software industry moves on.
I think the need for software is only going to increase.
And I think the importance of network effects will only increase.

So if that were true, our business wouldn't be growing.
We wouldn't have 40 million people using it every day.
I think the idea is getting easier and easier.
Yeah, we can't stand still.
If we stand still and don't continue to innovate, if we don't build that network effect, if we don't continue to add value for people, we'll get caught.
That's always true.
Actually, I think it's an interesting characterization.
