Can I safely remount a tv wall mount? (self.diy)

Got a new tv that works with my existing mount but it’s just not working like we need for this bigger tv. Could I put a new mount using the same holes. My concern is the bolts won’t have the same resistance to being pulled out. Google foo was no help on this and the Reddit link of course has been deleted. Thanks in advance!

Just get a bit longer bolts and you'll be fine. I've mounted tvs at my job for 7 years and I have done this a ton and never had an issue. You'll be fine for sure if you're in the studs.
