    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.

    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.

    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.

        It is when you’re publicly begging on said platform. The correct thing to do would have been to reach out over DM or even better, reach out to the production team that runs Mr Beast’s channel and begin conversations.

        You know, like any other serious company might do.

        The only reason he did this publicly is for the attention.

            That’s the point of Twitter for users…“haha”.

            The people running Twitter should act like professionals. If I was Mr Beast, I sure as hell would not even reply to such a tweet.

              Once we have presidential candidates that can act professional, I’ll hold some twitter guy to that standard.

                Oh I see.

                I guess I’ll wait with baited breath for when you’re ready to hold people to that standard. I suppose until then you won’t understand why this is just embarrassing for Musk.

                  I think Musk is fine if some lemmy migrants from reddit think that he’s embarrassing for tweeting at big streamers about twitters video platform.

        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.

    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.
