As we look at scaling the SnapStar program, I'd say today the focus is mostly around You know, looking at countries, geographies where, you know, we were sort of under indexed and investing in SnapStars there so we can build out more local language content. We're also looking at interests. A lot of SnapStars, you know, create content around their interests that, you know, could be food or travel, you know, sports, those sorts of things. And so we're really looking at this intersection of, you know, the geographies, you know, where we have SnapStars and then the interests as well. And really lining up with that that up with our community and what they're looking for.

We've seen continued strength with verticals such as CBG and restaurants and travel. Well, we've got some other sectors that continue to face challenges that are unique to their sector or the macro environment.

In addition, We continue to see costs return to our cost structure that were otherwise diminished during the pandemic period, including travel, event, and certain operations costs, which collectively contributed approximately three percentage points to the year-over-year growth rate in Q1.

We've redeployed resources to many of those verticals, and they continue to perform well. Examples of that are travel, streaming, financial services, amongst others. And it's really great that we've been able to develop these nimble and agile teams and support them and train them on categories that may not be their core competency to ensure that we can take advantage of the tailwind categories and shift some things away from the headwind categories.

Lastly, certain costs that were significantly diminished due to the pandemic-related restrictions in the prior year, including travel and event-related costs, are gradually returning to our cost structure and contributed in part to the year-over-year growth rate of operating expenses.

So when we look at different areas of success, when you take vertical by vertical by vertical, we had a lot of success in areas where we've seen that type of acceleration during lockdowns, like streaming, for instance, But then as the world started to reopen a bit, we also started to see success in areas like retail and restaurants and a little bit of life back into the travel sector, which has been nice and exciting as well.

As we anticipated last quarter, we are also beginning to see certain costs returning to our cost structure that were significantly diminished due to the pandemic-related restrictions over the past year, including travel and event-related costs among others. The partial return of these costs to our cost structure in Q2 was an additional factor, driving the acceleration in the rate of expense growth in the quarter.

On the expense side, in Q3, we intend to continue to invest in the long-term growth of our business in order to build on the momentum we have established with our community, our partners, and our top-line growth. In addition, we expect to continue to see certain costs that were diminished during the pandemic, such as travel and event costs, continue to return to our cost structure in the quarters ahead, which will impact operating expense growth.

While we see a path to adjust to the EBITDA break-even in Q2, we are also cognizant that there are a number of cost drivers for our business, including travel and event-related costs that have been lower over the past year due to COVID-related restrictions. It is likely that these activities will begin to resume in the coming months as restrictions ease and that the related costs will begin to return to our cost structure as a result.
