Does this pass the sniff test? When I take a look at the website and I take a look at what he's building out, do I believe in it? The art is kind of, it's secondary to me. Now, do I believe he has a community as well? Do I believe he has a strong community? So, you know, I can easily kind of just go and take a look at his Discord, kind of see what's going on there. So if I click on it, I can see that he has 16,000 members in Discord. He has about 4,500 people online. And then what I would do afterwards is I would go inside and take a look at his Discord just to see how people are engaging. Are they only saying GM? Like, good morning, or are they only saying good night? Like, that's it? Or are actual conversations happening in there? How are the conversations being facilitated in there? How do I feel about the vibes of the community, right? And take a look at what else he's built in terms of community, what events he's throwing. Does he have the experience doing it as a team? I'll take a look at that as well.
