@michaelmiraflor Let’s talk about what’s possible, if you can find anyone to talk to. We could show you what’s possible, but it’s not in the budget. Anyway, do you wanna buy a TV or?

@RomanEcom Got it. Happy to take a look at the creative and LP to see if I can give you a better answer than just the fact that it’s new in health & wellness.

@michaelmiraflor @janthonylong Short term is does look like a big deal, my point was that zooming out it loses some of its significance compared to other lows in the 50s and 80s - the precipitous nature of it does look pretty startling compared to other drops, will be interesting to watch it longer term

[Jared Graf @jaredgraf]

@janthonylong @michaelmiraflor Agree the zoomed out trend looks fairly lumpy and flat
