Let's start with the first question related to AI. As I mentioned earlier, this is the most exciting part of untapped potential for us, is that we have an immense amount of data related to users' preferences, behaviors, what drives positive success for our customers. So, just a tremendous, tremendous amount of insight inhouse, which has been amazing to see. Separately, AI hasn't been new to Bumble. Bumble has been innovating in AI for a really long time. It launched a lot of capabilities in photo and detection of fake accounts that we recently launched and there's so much more. So, we have an amazing foundation of AI and ML capabilities that exist today that we can already lean on as well. So, what we want to do is not only lean on the set of data and capabilities that we have, but we can also partner, and we have been in early pilots with several large language model vendors to really advance what we believe will help users through this augmented co-chain set of experiences. And so, we think there is just a tremendous amount of near-term opportunities with partners in the space. Now, with a longer-term vision, we believe there is – because of our safety principles, we will be continuing to innovate in AI for a long time. I think there's a lot of unique value to creating a set of principles that should lead to healthy and equitable relationships in relationships and communities and so forth. So, you will see a lot of innovation from us there. Now, in terms of competitive pressure, we have been in a competitive environment always. That's always been the case. Our focus is to really prioritize our customers. I think strong companies are the ones that focus on customers, first and foremost. So, our focus right now is investing in our marketing, our product, and our overall set of customer experiences across our key markets to meet what is differentiated for Bumble, again, which is women's experience, safety, and so forth. So, we certainly feel that it's fully in our control to help our customers meet our experiences.
