What they did

And you have and to and to further incentivize people, you have, "Oh, this like limited. This might change." And this might change, actually. Like, you might offer like a like increase the prices or offer them this different offer, etc., etc. Like many ways you can do it. Like um so kind of uh encourages users to kind of more like nudges users towards making a purchase.
