I think we're going to see a narrative
00:00:01
and some evidence that these glp1 drugs
00:00:04
that reduce your
00:00:06
Cravings uh the people on these drugs
00:00:08
are actually consuming less social media
00:00:11
there is a a cohort of people that are
00:00:14
on social media
00:00:17
24x7 and whether it's porn whether it's
00:00:20
Instagram whether it's it's it's Tik Tok
00:00:23
or Twitter it is an addiction and that
00:00:26
is it gets in the way of the rest of
00:00:27
your life and I think we're going to
00:00:29
find that people on these drugs reduce
00:00:31
their social media consumption among
00:00:33
other addictions and I wonder how the
00:00:35
market is going to react to that so I
00:00:37
think that's coming I think we're going
00:00:38
to start to see news in addition to
00:00:40
reducing your nail biting your alcohol
00:00:42
consumption your consumption of Pringles
