[19:56] They are also looking at a premium revenue share model. They are number 1 in Korea. [20:54] How they are trying to conquer the audio portion of AI as well as indexing and providing better services to content providers and listeners. [22:14] There are still more opportunities for startups to grow. [23:25] How it is important for content providers to grow their audience by having their work more easily available, and it is easier to monetize globally and worldwide including specific niche content.
