Our next question of Sheridan comes go Eric ahead. from please line UBS, of

line Your open. is

much. Thanks so to advertising two Maybe the respect with metrics.

amount you of issues auction prices the people discovered the adjust MAP problem? some As on inventory reduce as the and you their product the quarter, of MAP the did an aware the see as ad in did through that you dropped could go against or people of bidding product became adds

pricing, the highlighted Thanks guys. video dynamic on mix you year-on-year some pricing becomes and auction? pricing video dynamics so but much, it. video and MAP Is a familiarity more bigger basis? of the around increasing with the then the between also get a if portion sequential in video people or And pricing is What of

I’ll Eric. those. Thanks, Well. take

didn’t we any make So changes.

an service auction One having things of great the things that is based about naturally. adjust

And for less them. for is one so - different if bid makes from formats, across other right they'll sense inputs type ad that or format demand the inputs price advertisers fewer the of there that use

back before sometimes times to advertisers format things wait they one their campaign change to or and from And move things other take they come and elsewhere. another for pause

about or that in increased step formats grow we’re you the relevant ads better we’re that DAU tells selling pleased at about If people, look front more putting greater and engagements metrics XX% we’ve continues selling to back that our so see more which share, of than relevant you that. that ads you

that mix then for changes would That think video, around would from like to for And about about than was cost really largely XX%. a ad I reflects MAP pricing. down engagement more shift

you ads and opportunity continue improve formats about better to relevance, these is exist come of our to us out opportunity opportunities existing ad in improved to better that around ad to to there's selling formats ad with lots copy formats today. ad continue put When for just generally, one of like the more and without think there just also still But MAP. versions

our more XX ads at video served longer than seconds. have We still than of half being

rates As compelling better, the they’re X much are that are person like Twitter, seconds XX you’d them ads are seconds are or imagine for the much more effective service advertiser, for on watching that completion a longer. much more for video that the knows they

one certainly the of more example help and something ad would everybody but great do engagements that selling associated improve a all ad can can we metrics. require and That’s doesn't

Since surprise you're a should probably related be have CPMs actually for up and we've period it wondering we’ve bit product this because it last talked the issues here about, talked the about time that been of that of were CPMs down quarter. no

you. Thank

Next question please.

next comes SunTrust. of question Youssef Please open. Squali line your from line of Our is the ahead, go

you. me please. thank Great, questions Two from

QX speak and what of we think you impact the at should XXXX, you look we is in can into Ned to QX, the incurred in kind bake [ph] an First of guidance what there do elements cost as to baked from kind bug issue? Were any also additional costs
