Thanks for these.

1. The set looks like the hatch from Lost. Is anybody there pressing a button over and over again?

2. Martin is insanely good at maintaining eye contact.

It would be great if you would add subtites to all your videos. Your content is very interesting, but automatic subtitles do not recognize many phrases correctly.

Another great video!!
I deal with a lot of e-commerce platforms like Shopify, and Squarespace. Any chance those types of services will be addressed? :)

I do not understand why google should decide how I will use a button on a page. I want as a user that a button could take me to another page/content. For instance a button, when you click it takes you to a specific product. What did I miss here?
