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?
All the jokes aside, it's still amazing the CEO over a year in doesn't even know how profitable being an user that drives engagement on the site is compared to a (I guess) competitor like youtube. He's just like we're as profitable as youtube for you, or if not we can be, like the guy knows nothing and is just throwing claims out there with no basis in reality or plan to follow through on them.
One could ask them: „How come you're not posting on our platform? Can we improve anything?”
Or you can go the Elon Musk way.
Is it PR/purely for publicity? Is it a spontaneous thought posted as a Tweet? Is it an offer with public visibility for increased impact? Is it underhanded trying to get more publishers to join the platform? Is it desperate try to get them or anyone as a publisher? It's certainly ambiguous and unprofessional. But that's nothing new.
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.
Very pathetic Elon. It will not make any sense to the man who build an empire on YouTube to post videos on Twitter or any other social media. It's not about the money, it's about braniding. Mr Beast is a Youtube icon. And it would not be a suprise I'd they have some contracts with YouTube.
If Elon wants to compete he needs to focus on new talents who use Twitter as their main and only plataform, similar to what Twitch does. Probably he should give Vines a second chance. I think it was Twitter error to close it. Now shorts and streaming are on demand.
Trying to steal other platforms talents is just nonsense.
Well, it looks like a W for Zuck, I just hope it's not doom for the Fediverse, somehow. I don't really care if the Twitter exodus goes elsewhere, they've already been stepping on the flowers pretty hard at Mastodon, I just don't want to be somehow annexed by Facebook.
