Paul SarkerHOST
But I do wonder how many people that access the free tier are actually gonna upsell.

Sean GuptaGUEST
And so just if we take a step back to our listeners a couple days ago, there was an article that said, lots of articles, that said, "Hollywood giants Disney and Paramount are exploring adding free tiers to the subscription services to build audiences, grow advertising revenue, and turn curious newcomers into customers." This is from Business Insider.

Sean GuptaGUEST
There's a lot of opportunity there, and I think- The, the services are trying to create a front porch where they can monetize the ad impressions.

Sean GuptaGUEST
There's probably a backlog of ad inventory that's available through their ad tiers, and they wanna create more inventory.
