Can you talk a little bit about how trust and safety is different on a visual platform like Giphy compared to other spaces, whether that's Meetup or what you know from the ecosystem? What's unique about keeping visual content like this safe? Mm-hmm.
7:46
Every platform deals with context, and it's kind of always the hardest thing to navigate.
7:52
There are platforms that are out there that have a lot of context available to people or to machines who are viewing potentially harmful content.
7:59
On platforms where there's only one content type and no text fields, no comments, etc., it's difficult to kind of understand the context of that file upload.
8:10
And it can be really hard to anticipate how that content can be used and what... you know, in that position, you sometimes have to think of like the worst case scenario and what the impact of the worst case scenario might be.
8:23
And then you have to frame your decision around that.
8:25

The other thing, there are a couple Simonson editions.
33:18
I have the giant Simonson hardcover, which recolors it, but it's so funny the way that your brain works.

It's like, when I look at this, I just want to look back.
