Jonathan ParraSo here on the on the left paywall, you have this verbiage, right? You see AI Assistant Weekly, AI Assistant Annual, Monthly. So that's just a lot of copy there that you don't really need, right? You're repeating yourself a lot. Users don't read, and so you want to have visual design um more in uh like just show up more than kind of copy, because people aren't really going to read, so you just kind of want it to flow a little bit better.

I just don't want to test too many things at a time, and I do want to have that variant for a later test, so I just didn't have that here.
