Thanks for your response. So I'll tell you what I think is the problem with the partnership. The problem is that a user can write good posts, invest a lot of effort, get partnership, and then in a way that partner is, if he wants to increase his revenue, what he would probably do is make many posts and make sure that a lot of people will go and visit those different posts and generate visits and comment each other to signal that they visit those posts. And what that is causing is that there's degradation in the content quality of the community. So you see a lot of junk posts, junk comments, because people want to generate engagement in order to squeeze more CPM. Now, when you are rewarding the best content of your community as the owner that really cares about getting good content, many grow the community, grow the audience. So when you're being compensated this way, then there's no benefit from producing spam posts and spam comments. There's just no benefit in doing that. There's no incentive. So, you know, obviously some people are honest and wouldn't do that, but some people, you know, maybe they need the money. They do whatever they need. And in this case, we have a system that really enables that. And the owner is not really incentivized to stop it because he benefits from that as well. The numbers are growing and they're generating probably many more views in other posts. So the owner is not incentivized to stop it. And that makes it even a bigger problem. And I think that if we want to stop that kind of incentives from driving bad content into the boards, then we need to deal with the root of the problem. And that's the automatic payment. Now, automatic payment exists on other networks, but in much, much, much smaller amounts than $25 CPM. Much smaller.
