[548.96 --> 550.52] Like where would I show my...
[550.52 --> 551.72] What shows my extensions?
[552.42 --> 553.72] Would it show up as an app?
[553.72 --> 557.84] I think it's under more tools and then...
[557.84 --> 559.02] Yeah, more tools and then extensions.
[559.34 --> 559.92] So more tools.
[559.96 --> 560.54] More tools.
[560.78 --> 561.28] Extensions.
[561.48 --> 561.78] Extensions.
[561.78 --> 562.22] Here we go.
[562.28 --> 564.62] I actually don't really use browser extensions.
[565.12 --> 567.00] As you guys can plainly see.
[567.36 --> 569.44] Okay, you have a fair amount, but most of them are not enabled.
[569.56 --> 571.46] You can see from the checkmark box.
[571.92 --> 572.62] So there you go.
[573.32 --> 573.92] There's my...
[573.92 --> 577.92] There's every extension I have ever like tried for five minutes.
[577.92 --> 579.84] There you go.
[580.04 --> 580.24] Yeah.
[580.38 --> 582.92] So no, Adblocker is not the issue.
[583.90 --> 584.92] I just...
[585.44 --> 588.48] Maybe part of it is that I don't see them.
[589.10 --> 590.48] And I don't click on them.
[590.82 --> 592.72] So maybe they just stop bothering.
[592.84 --> 593.32] Yeah, okay.
[593.40 --> 594.38] Because I'm on mine.
[594.50 --> 598.30] And I decided that I was just going to sit here and just constantly scroll through home until I got to one.
[598.42 --> 598.64] Yeah.
[598.82 --> 599.56] And I haven't.
[600.46 --> 601.60] I've seen them before though.
[601.80 --> 603.06] I have seen sponsored tweets.
[603.42 --> 604.40] They definitely exist.
[604.52 --> 604.64] I know.
[604.64 --> 605.96] I don't use Hola VPN.
[606.90 --> 610.70] I think I grabbed it like years ago.
[611.70 --> 613.68] I know what I used it for.
[614.32 --> 617.06] We did a sponsored spot for Hulu.
[618.32 --> 621.06] And Hulu is US only.
[621.06 --> 621.54] Yeah, yeah.
[621.68 --> 625.12] And we needed to get some screen capture of Hulu.
[625.64 --> 628.32] And I just needed to go on like their website.
[628.86 --> 632.56] So I think that's why I grabbed just like some free...
[632.56 --> 636.04] Because that was prior to our Tunnel Bear sponsorship.
[636.28 --> 638.46] I don't think I had even heard of Tunnel Bear at the time.
[638.72 --> 638.90] Yeah.
[640.16 --> 641.96] So yeah.
[642.32 --> 643.84] That's why I had a couple of random...
[643.84 --> 645.56] Like that's from like four years ago.
[645.56 --> 652.62] An actually insane amount of scrolling and I have seen zero ads.
[653.60 --> 655.86] I've scrolled through a lot of stuff while we're just sitting here.
[655.92 --> 656.24] So yeah.
[656.34 --> 657.12] Like I just...
[657.12 --> 659.24] I don't get it.
[659.62 --> 661.06] So back to...
[661.06 --> 669.08] So their total advertising revenue was only up 1% year over year because maybe there's a lot of people out there who can't find the ads on Twitter.
[669.08 --> 670.76] Or maybe...
[670.76 --> 671.26] You know what?
[671.56 --> 672.08] You know what?
[672.18 --> 673.28] It's mid-Q1.
[675.00 --> 676.00] Oh, no one's buying.
[676.30 --> 676.50] Yeah.
[676.68 --> 677.24] Maybe just...
[677.24 --> 679.54] Maybe they actually are just like...
[679.54 --> 682.28] Don't have any ads to serve.
[682.46 --> 682.54] Yeah.
[683.04 --> 683.80] Like that's possible.
[683.80 --> 684.24] That could definitely be it.
[684.38 --> 684.48] Yeah.
[684.48 --> 692.42] So just so you guys know, there's a very cyclical nature to online advertising spending.
[692.56 --> 698.18] And we've been doing it long enough that we're very familiar with the ebbs and the flows.
[698.90 --> 712.74] So in quarter one of any given year since Linus Media Group has become a thing, we've been running around with our hair on fire trying to figure out how we're going to survive for the next year.
[712.74 --> 716.30] Because we do our annual employee reviews.
[716.84 --> 719.14] We try to get them finished in December.
[720.12 --> 726.96] And during that time, everyone gets sort of the feedback on how things went this year for the company, how things went for them.
[727.36 --> 729.88] And a lot of the time, people get raises.
[729.88 --> 731.88] So...
[731.88 --> 743.48] And that's also the time of year that we do all of our budgeting for the following year where we'll go, okay, we need to set aside this much money to hire this person and this much for that person and whatever else.
[743.48 --> 749.88] And then every Q1, like, we're not surprised because we know it's coming.
[749.98 --> 750.96] Okay, I'll show that in a minute.
[751.40 --> 755.94] We're not surprised because, like, we know it's coming, but we're always kind of surprised by the severity.
[756.60 --> 759.48] Because the calendar flips over, figuratively.
[759.84 --> 760.92] Who uses paper calendars?
[761.40 --> 761.84] It's ridiculous.
[761.84 --> 770.30] But the calendar flips over, and, like, all of our sponsors are just like, yeah, we don't have any budget right now.
[770.62 --> 772.64] And AdSense goes like this.
[773.44 --> 778.02] And we're just like, oh, how are we going to survive?
[779.74 --> 783.56] We're paying people more than we used to, but we're making less than we used to.
[783.64 --> 784.84] This is not a good...
[784.84 --> 785.84] This is not a good...
[785.84 --> 788.12] Oh, I've got...
[788.12 --> 789.70] Sorry, I got a cough.
[792.46 --> 792.96] Damn it.
[793.04 --> 794.32] There goes that bingo piece.
[794.48 --> 797.18] So the point is, this happens.
[797.26 --> 798.16] This happens every year.
[798.32 --> 808.20] And so it actually shouldn't surprise me that much if Twitter doesn't have a lot of advertising inventory to pump out to the people who are least likely to click on it.
[808.28 --> 808.92] People like me.
[809.08 --> 811.98] With that said, here, we had someone provide this in Twitch chat?
[812.64 --> 814.26] No, it was a tweet to both of us.
[814.32 --> 815.02] To both of us.
