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.

Just so you are aware, it’s “reeks” of bullshit, not “wreaks”.
