    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.

    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.

    I get why people are doubtful about Musk. I just wanna see YouTube’s monopoly broken and streamers/entertainers get their due. I do not like how YouTube treats content creators. Maybe a competitive alternative is a good thing.

      What fucking wild times we live in. This whole Elon vs Zuck thing about copyright. And how I see more people want Zuck to win. And now, we’ve got Musk trying to go after YouTube.

      It’s a mess.

      I in no way want Musk to win. I just think the whole series of events is wild

        I never thought I’d see people rushing to and championing and saying how much they love a new Zuckerberg owned platform like they have with threads lol. Everyone’s always saying they want facebook to die, and how they won’t use anything with a facebook account, and so on…and then bam, 100 million users in a few days lol

          They got users by signing people up automatically.

          Tired of hearing about Threads, Zuckerberg, and Elon, can we talk about something else on Lemmy or what.

    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.

    Can Lemmy do anything besides post about Elon, Threads, Zuckerberg, and Reddit? Is it just a bunch of bots spamming the place?

    I came here to avoid all that shit, not talk about it.

      Then post about shit you want to talk about. Or just scroll past the ones you don’t want to talk about. No one is forcing you to enter threads (ah fuck meta for making that statement ambiguous) and comment.

        It’s all over Lemmy. A huge chunk of content here is about social media. Twitter, Reddit, Threads, Musk, Zuckerberg, the fediverse, Lemmy development, Kevin development.

        Those are all decent topics to address, but that’s half my feed on here even after curation.

          I get your frustration, but this is like going to a party where there’s a bunch of different conversations going on, mingling through some of them and then joining a group of people having one conversation and asking everyone to stop this conversation without even offering an alternative.

          And at this kind of party, you don’t even have to stop your current conversation to begin a new one, so these topics don’t need to stop to make room for others, the others can just start up in parallel.

          But this stuff is fascinating, like billionaire Jerry Springer only instead of yelling at each other about whose kid can play on which playground, their battleground is online platforms and two players are seeing how much they can light their platform on fire without everyone leaving while the other is popping up in new places saying, “if you just start out completely on fire, no one will notice unless they stop and look around, but then you just target people where the idea of looking too closely at anything terrifies them to their core and they won’t give a shit even if your conversations about how dumb they are for trusting you leak.”

            Your first paragraph makes it seem like you didn’t even read my comment. Not interested in a condescending conversation.

        And I kindly suggest you create a create a community called “billionaire drama and promotion” for all this low quality content so technology can actually be about tech.
