Q Are you seeing a real increase in this type of content showing up on medium because of the scale?
A We saw like a 10 X increase in what people were trying to post on medium. But also at some level, it was kind of a non-issue because the tools we used to battle it are the same tools we were already using to, um, to battle spam and to filter out the filter, the good stuff into the network and leave the bad stuff out. So we got a huge increase, uh, in volume, but not in what the readers see. And I still, I'm like somewhat perplexed that that article made it to print because it was really, A nothing burger for us. It just, it was a little bit of extra work, but the same type of work we were already doing.

Q It's funny you say, uh, we got an increase. Uh, is that increase still being sustained that 10 X increase?
A Yeah. It didn't, it didn't turn out to be exponential. It just, it came and, uh, I think we tightened up, uh, um, and maybe became less interesting, but you know, it's like the, it was just a step function and the change in price and that, that, um, there's not a, As significant of a change in price to create that slop anymore, and, you know, it gets incrementally cheaper, but it's still, like, it was somewhat cheap, and then it became very cheap, and that's just like night and day, and that night and day, I think, just created a one-time change in the amount of trash that was getting thrown at platforms, and I think that's true for all platforms.
