I haven't been keeping up with the changes to X but I checked out their videos site (xvideos, I presume) and it seems like it's mostly porn with the occasional Tesla shareholder meeting keynote.

The keynotes seem a bit incongruous and I could do without them. Otherwise, it doesn't seem like it's gone too far downhill.

If X is becoming a video site, Xvideos should absolutely sue them for infringement on their name.
