One is growing at 9%, and another is growing at 15%. Those are two very different growth rates. We could discuss the moat and sustainability of that.

The margins in the middle are starting to be played with, where more money is going to these supply side and demand side partners. The Trade Desk is doing the exact same thing with OpenPath. PubMatic is doing the same with their direct line. Viant is doing the same with Viant Direct Access. They're all trying to get into the margins as much as possible.
