plz :(
-Elon Musk
I didn’t realize anyone earned anything on Twitter ever. Is this just video views? Is this new?
Also, fuck Musk, etc.
I think it’s new, he decided to add it to attract Tucker Carlson. I don’t know who would watch a whole 20 minute video on their phone though.
Almost everyone
How is he going to be able to handle more videos when he has to ration text views because it’s melting his servers.
Shouldn’t Mr. Musk pay his server bills first?
His new CEO is desperate as well.
He’s always been desperate for attention, but now the public sentiment has finally turned against him everything he does just looks sad.
Oh and his memes were always stale AF.
Every time Elon begs for money, I donate to my Mastodon or Lemmy admins.
Absolute Chad Move
Except he doesn’t seem to be begging for money here. He’s looking to give more away
“give more away”
What
I mean he would be paying Mr beast
Even billionaires are begging MrBeast for shit now, lmao.
Elone will surely pay content creators. He just doesn’t like to pay anyone else.
No one would watch videos in GARBAGEp resolution when 1080p is right behind a corner on YT
I deliberately lower streaming quality on everything I watch. If the thing is really worth it I might watch it in 720p. Everything else goes in 480p.
The push for 4k is a level of consumerism I’m not comfortable with, having the world going to shit as fast as it’s going.
4K, 8K, 1,293K is overrated gimmicks to me. I want to see actual improvements, not just how big the resolution can get and how much detail. The last thing that wow’ed me like that were movie theater screens. I’m not really that impressed with it. Also 60FPS shows and things are so off-putting!
Wish Twitter would just stop existing already. Why do people acknowledge the shitty owner of the site at all? Just keep this scum out the news. Easy.
Most people don’t have any fucks to give over who owns what. If its running and convenient to them, they’ll use it.
A company notorious for revenue problems and missing bill payments is definitely who I would want to enter a business relationship with. Where do I sign up?
And run by a guy notorious for not paying his bills
Richest man in the world begging for pennies.
Yeah and his best offer is I promise I’ll pay you what you’re already being paid…
Not even. He’s offering similar compensation per view. There’s no way Twitter is getting the number of views YouTube is. Especially with all the games he’s playing lately, like putting the whole site behind a registration wall
Users probably cant even watch the video bc of tweet read restrictions.
Lol yeah you’re 100% right, I didn’t even think of that
fuck elon
two downvotes man? not even lemmy is free of elon’s boolickers
I have no idea i’d get this many upvotes 😘 . Nothing against technology ♥️ ♥️
I get why people are doubtful about Musk. I just wanna see YouTube’s monopoly broken and streamers/entertainers get their due. I do not like how YouTube treats content creators. Maybe a competitive alternative is a good thing.
Twitter ran by musk is unlikely to be our savior
Any competition is good competition. If he offers competitive earnings to youtube, youtube is pressured to improve their product or pay for views.
Isn’t Youtube doing that already? I see way more ads nowadays than I used to, when I’m not using ublock origin (yay non-Android smart tv). Also blocking users with adblockers, etc.
Competition is not always good.
So you think video streaming services should be in a monopoly?
You think that will be the best for the consumer and content creators?
I disagree.
Hey just fyi, you responded to the wrong comment :)
haha new to lemmy, thanks!
What fucking wild times we live in. This whole Elon vs Zuck thing about copyright. And how I see more people want Zuck to win. And now, we’ve got Musk trying to go after YouTube.
It’s a mess.
I in no way want Musk to win. I just think the whole series of events is wild
I never thought I’d see people rushing to and championing and saying how much they love a new Zuckerberg owned platform like they have with threads lol. Everyone’s always saying they want facebook to die, and how they won’t use anything with a facebook account, and so on…and then bam, 100 million users in a few days lol
They got users by signing people up automatically.
Tired of hearing about Threads, Zuckerberg, and Elon, can we talk about something else on Lemmy or what.
