They've been pretty up front about wanting to be an everything app, but for some reason these articles always catch me off guard!

When I was active on Twitter, I couldn't imagine using the app to watch more than a 60 second video. It feels like a platform for fleeting engagement, not a place to build your content creator empire.

I suspect we'll see a few high profile creators try this in the coming weeks, then they'll lose interest as the engagement and revenue don't add up.

I second everything Boomer has just said! I am currently reading the Walter Issacson book on Elon, this idea of the everything app seems to have been in his mind for a long time, as that is what he wanted to do with X dot com which merged to become paypal before the board had other ideas, i would think twitter would need a huge redesign to get video usage on the up as its just not the place to go for content like that just now apart from small trending clips. And the biggie is monetisation options, after the first twitter blue creator payouts ive not really heard anything about other than the amounts almost seemed to be random, so i dont know what has happened with that?

We will have to see, but IMO he will soon be dominating X as well, let's face it, Jimmy's videos are always the best things out there, I am like a child waiting for his next video

Personally, no, I'm on a path to watching fewer videos unless they are DIY or instructional. When it comes to getting general information or facts, I find that I can read about ten times faster than the pace at which people speak.
