Sources at X described it as a way to highlight the video content that users are sharing and creating and organize it under one tab. A beta version is expected to be available to a select group of users later this summer.

They can do that, with the few overworked people remaining?

It seems they can. 

Like all of Elon's companies, they will be overworked, and they will love it.

Hopefully, they will learn to unionize at some point.

I'm still amazed that people like short-form video in the first place, but if TikTok exits the US market, which it sounds like they may, I suppose it'd be better to have a company enter the market. Don't really want the number of competitors to keep shrinking, if you're a consumer of that content.

Maybe they could buy Vine?

For how much? $2?

[–] RagingSnarkasm@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Probably something closer to $30,000,000.
