I think the shift that I, one of the reasons for the shift that Steven's so like frustrated with, I think that it used to be that you didn't want to, you know, blow your exciting presentation on an online YouTube video that everyone could just consume because you wanted to use it at the conference where you got and had that hallway track that was so valuable.

And there were a lot of like seminal tech leaders that gave talks that attracted audiences where you're like, I've been in that same talk three times.
