Public begging? How embarrassing
deleted by creator
I didn’t realize anyone earned anything on Twitter ever. Is this just video views? Is this new?
Also, fuck Musk, etc.
I think it’s new, he decided to add it to attract Tucker Carlson. I don’t know who would watch a whole 20 minute video on their phone though.
Almost everyone
On the twitter player? lord have mercy.
No, I meant on YouTube. Most people watch long videos on their mobile devices just fine.

I would. Not on Twitter though because their video player sucks
Who doesn’t?
I just don’t see the reason to do it.
If I have time to watch a 20min video it’s because I’m at home doing nothing and home is where my TV and computers are. If the only thing I have is my phone that means I’m out doing something, so I don’t have time to watch a 20min video.
My child will watch a 20-minute video on any device capable of displaying it.
Many people watch Netflix on their phones, somehow
I’m one of them and my main reason is because Netflix mobile is free
It’s just how you use your phone. Seems like a work phone. Tho, most people don’t use their phones for work, at least exclusively.
Either that or you’re commuting in a country with good signal coverage, for instance. I live in a hilly region in Europe, so streaming while commuting is difficult because of tunnels, but it can be done.
I sometimes watch long YouTube videos on my phone while in my living room, where my huge screen also is. Don’t ask me why, but I like it.
Good thing your personal experiences are the only possible way to live. For a second there we were dangerously close to self awareness!
Good thing I said “”“I”“” don’t see the reason to do it, as in this is my use case for me personally . For a second there I were dangerously far from saying “No one should ever”
I dont own a cellphone so me I guess.
My wife will binge watch TV shows on her phone. Ones with epic views like The Expanse. I don’t get it but she’s fine with it.
Will i watch videos on my phone rather than my computer? no
will i watch videos on my phone rather than staring into the distance and feeling the state of the world slowly and agonizingly send me into a spiral of depression and anxiety?
Yeah.
I have a friend who watches entire movies on his phone. It appalls me, but a lot of people do it.
I would if i was on a train. I don’t know if I would do it with Twitter’s video player though…
I don’t know who would watch a whole 20 minute video on their phone though.
In some countries, a phone as a daily computer for everything is much more popular than actual computers.
How is he going to be able to handle more videos when he has to ration text views because it’s melting his servers.
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.
Two people in this world that you should never get an IOU from: Trump and Musk.
They just don’t pay their bills. It’s not worth the effort.
With what money, Elon? You can’t afford to pay Google or office rent but you’re going to pay Mr. Beast?
Every time Elon begs for money, I donate to my Mastodon or Lemmy admins.
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?
And run by a guy notorious for not paying his bills
It’s just like lawyers being recruited to work for Trump
Exactly. Unless they can negotiate a better wage that will hold up against a lawsuit, it is equivalent to a modern scam.
Richest man in the world begging for pennies.
Yeah and his best offer is I promise I’ll pay you what you’re already being paid…
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
Lol yeah you’re 100% right, I didn’t even think of that
Users probably cant even watch the video bc of tweet read restrictions.
How can MrBeast post a 10-minute video on Twitter? Should he make a thread for a video? 😆 😆
Doesn’t Elon hate trans people or whatever?
Pretty sure Mr Beast is a company, not a person. I mean, we know who he is, but like, he isn’t the guy managing millions of dollars.
Pretty sure they are a well oiled machine, still making ridiculous amount of money.
Asking them to come to your platform publicly like that would be like BC college asking the Red Sox to play a few games on their turf for funzies.
They wouldn’t show up without a down payment equal to what they pull down on an average night at home.
Are you bill Simmons? This is a great analogy to Boston sports and the only person I know who can do that is Bill Simmons. But I guess that’s because I live in Florida lol
I mean, the Sox do play a double header with BC and Northeastern every spring training, so you could see the theoretical game in Florida if you wanted
Fuck Musk. He should do us all a favour and go suck on the tail end of one of “his” rockets.
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.
over a year in
The deal closed at the end of October. He’s also appointed a new CEO, so while he owns, the title isn’t with him. He’s still in charge, though. Still an asshole, too.
