Musk’s platform is pushing MrBeast’s first video upload in users’ feeds as an unlabeled ad.

    Mr Beast was already annoying. He was doing nice things for folks so I let it go but if he joins with Twitter on this I will lose any respect I did have for him

      He already said that Twitter is not paying enough to sustain the cashflow needed for more.
      Because of this even another million views coming from twitter aint paying much more in comparison to a youtube click/member.

      Linus (LTT) mentioned on the Wanshow that Twitter pays shit rates even for the bit of engagement.

      It doesn’t seem like a platform that will do him many favors, unless it starts developing features he’s using on YouTube. His YT videos have multi-audio support so they can be watched in different languages, and I’m pretty sure X is single audio and also more compressed.

      If it does pan out, at least the money will go into videos/helping others.

      Yeah, the guy taking money from Google and giving them to the poor, cleaning the oceans and helping the environment. We MUST lose respect for him, just because he posted on a social media platform we prefer not to use.

      That’s the logic behind this. Honestly?
