at least the old twitter app was full of fun videos; now it’s just partisan political garbage as a rumble clone.
Fuck elon with a brick. Nope.
I found the right one for the job.
We don’t need an app to watch Musk gush and cum all over himself with content that is nothing that involves himself.
Who still uses Twitter for anything, much less watching videos? Hard pass.
Nobody cares.
First off, I love that every article about X has to mention that it was formally Twitter. That shit will never stop being funny to me.
Second, why the hell do you need Twitter on a TV? So people can sit on their phones while they watch Twitter?
I love that people keep saying formally instead of formerly and it makes it seem like twitter is the proper nomenclature and X is just slang.
I hope someone suggests to him that, now that Tesla has moved to Texas, they should rename the company “TeXla” so that it will match his other companies with an X in the name. Then all of the articles can start referring to ‘TeXla, formerly Tesla’.
As I understand it, it’s not Twitter, but on TV. It’s a new service that is supposed to rival YouTube. As much as I would like to see that happen, fuck Elon. I hope it fails and costs him billions.
I grabbed it because that’s what I do and have always done.
It’s Twitter on tv.
tl;dr - Twitter vids on tv.
I hope it succeeds just enough to take the right wing nutters off YouTube and give YouTube an incentive to improve its service. But that it stays unsuccessful enough that it keeps burning a hole in Elon’s pocket
As much as that sounds like fun, the right with their own platform end up in an right wing, conservative, , fake news sound board where people will be subject to propaganda and nothing but propaganda, completely radicalizing anyone on there, instead of confronting them with an alternative sides of the stories. Isolating the nut jobs makes them even more dangerous. Which is exactly what Elon tries to do.
While this is true, algorithmic feeds virtually guarantee that echo chambers exist within a platform already. Fascists won’t leave YouTube because they feel it’s “too woke” or offering varying viewpoints, they’ll leave because the people they already watch there tell them to go to the other service. So I think it’s possible Elon attracts the fascists, destroys YouTube’s ability to monetize that part of their algorithm, and consequently have to improve service for others to try and ensure other fringe echo chambers don’t follow suit.
Yawn
