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

    Also, fuck Musk, etc.

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

    Top bad Twitter’s video player is very bad, and Twitter’s but rate is very noticably worse than YouTube.

    Also I don’t watch Mr beast so I don’t give a shit in the first place.

    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.

        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

    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!
