"At the time, you had Midjourney being built on Discord and Midjourney was phenomenal, just like such a cool company product, everything. And a lot of people on the outside were just like, 'Wow, this is a moment.' Midjourney must be huge for Discord.

"Ustream is a funny company. It was one of the first live streaming companies alongside Livestream and Justin.tv with Justin Kan — kind of a golden age of live streaming first enabled by higher bandwidth.
