    How is he going to be able to handle more videos when he has to ration text views because it’s melting his servers.

    I didn’t realize anyone earned anything on Twitter ever. Is this just video views? Is this new?

    Also, fuck Musk, etc.

    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.

    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.

    With what money, Elon? You can’t afford to pay Google or office rent but you’re going to pay Mr. Beast?

      He’s perfectly capable of paying both. He doesn’t want to, and because he’s rich, he doesn’t have to. There is a reason billionaires end up with so much money, and fairly compensating other parties isn’t it.

        They don’t have to rip other people off, they just choose to. I had a girlfriend whose family was quite wealthy… she loved shopping at the dollar store, and her mother acted overwhelmed with glee when she found a dozen past-date eggs for .65 at the grocery store. Is that how they became wealthy? Fuck no, they inherited a hotel.

    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!

    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?

        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

      He likely hates them because his daughter is trans and completely wrote him off. She changed her name wanting to have no association to her father.

      Soon after this he started increasing his anti trans shit.
