We need a speech. I love speech. I don't want to talk about it because I don't want to say it. Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Once again, thank you very much for this honour of getting this award once again. It's been a tough year. Of course, better can be done and we hope to do better. But just before I leave the stage, I'd just like to say one more thing. I don't know at which point any one of you realize they are now adults. Whether it's because you started paying your own rent or because your parents told you get out of the house. For me, it was when I switched from showering with my boxer to showering with a shower cloth. That's when I realized I am now an adult. And in adulting, it means taking responsibility for some things. It's nice that we get to meet us influencers in such avenues. Thank you very much, Paul, for organizing this once again consistently and upping the standards. But it would be nice as well as content creators for us to not just meet in this way, but to also be together in one way or another. That is why myself and a couple of other content creators have finally started the process of registering an association for content creators that is meant to unify content creators and also solidify our impact in the industry. I believe that deserves recognition in itself. Otherwise, we hope to have further conversations about this later. And of course, we are going to be engaging with partners like Pauls who have been very instrumental in helping us as content creators. Thank you very much everybody. Have a wonderful night.
