X/Twitter is planning to launch a monetization service that will allow video creators to earn money on the platform, similar to YouTube.







What are your thoughts on this? If you’re a content creator, will you use X/Twitter to make money from your videos, or will you stick with YouTube?
 
X could easily take market share cause Google is stingy with revenue share.

All X would need to do is do a 40-60 split and could draw in a lot of content creators. Or, go as high as 60% and Google could never compete.

I don't know if X could fund that though because the infrastructure for handling so much data would be incredibly expensive to upkeep.
 
Shame that Twitter is killing its user base of late, heard they are making all art posted a property of the site and can be used in AI.

According to this article, Twitter can now use everyone’s content to train their AI https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/21/tech/x-twitter-terms-of-service/index.html


When X unveiled its newest terms of service, which go into effect on November 15, users quickly picked up on one change.

“By submitting, posting or displaying Content on or through the Services, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to make your Content available to the rest of the world,” the terms of service said, which includes the right to analyze any of that content “including, for example, for use with and training of our machine learning and artificial intelligence models, whether generative or another type.”

Basically, by continuing to use the platform, users will agree that X can use their data to train its AI models.
Musk has been slowly killing the platform since he took it over.



Which isn’t a good thing, so now
A lot of artists are moving over to Bluesky because of this move. Twitter is also losing members due to the removal of their blocking features where users can still see your posts if you have them blocked.
