Quotes:

"When it comes to onboarding, once you're in the product, onboarding doesn't end there. It shouldn't end there. So educating our users on the core aspects of the product is very important."

"It made me realize sometimes a bit of friction's okay. If anything, it weeds out the bad actors. If someone has high intent, they're going to put in a little bit more effort to get the results.”
