        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.

          He replaced his pr team with a poop emoji. He can’t do it properly even if he wanted to.

            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.

        Twitter video is notoriously shit. Uploading results in unintended trimming of the end and sharing such a video has “mixed success” being shared to other platforms. Also, does he guarantee the same pay out as youtube? his views are significantly worth less than a view on youtube for him. Think he basically counts what youtube counts as an “impression” as a view. That’s huge when most youtubers of Jimmy’s size get a CTR of like 10% … so thats people who click in to view after an impression. So if the followers were the same size and such Jimmy would 10x the ad revenue moving to twitter.

        That wreaks of bullshit. Now if you’re being charitable you’d say oh well he probably meant this or that… but thats the problem. Now we have to interpret something that was said with assertive authority. So this is “embarrassing” cause its Elon basically begging for more content on his platform that he can barely serve to his users (limited posts) to try justify a Blue purchase to potentially slow the bleeding. And thats transparently so, but he phrased it like it’d be in Jimmy’s interest which most people are just seeing through.
