Public begging? How embarrassing
Yes, it’s so cringe. Honestly, he is like a child. Especially that this is all done publicly.
Desperate times call for desperate measures
How is he going to be able to handle more videos when he has to ration text views because it’s melting his servers.
plz :(
-Elon Musk
His new CEO is desperate as well.
Every time Elon begs for money, I donate to my Mastodon or Lemmy admins.
Absolute Chad Move
Except he doesn’t seem to be begging for money here. He’s looking to give more away
“give more away”
What
I mean he would be paying Mr beast
Wish Twitter would just stop existing already. Why do people acknowledge the shitty owner of the site at all? Just keep this scum out the news. Easy.
Most people don’t have any fucks to give over who owns what. If its running and convenient to them, they’ll use it.
Even billionaires are begging MrBeast for shit now, lmao.
He’s always been desperate for attention, but now the public sentiment has finally turned against him everything he does just looks sad.
Oh and his memes were always stale AF.
I didn’t realize anyone earned anything on Twitter ever. Is this just video views? Is this new?
Also, fuck Musk, etc.
This looks so desperate
fuck elon
two downvotes man? not even lemmy is free of elon’s boolickers
I have no idea i’d get this many upvotes 😘 . Nothing against technology ♥️ ♥️
Just when you thought he can’t be any more embarrassing…
It’s embarrassing for him to advertise his companies video platform?
It is when you’re publicly begging on said platform. The correct thing to do would have been to reach out over DM or even better, reach out to the production team that runs Mr Beast’s channel and begin conversations.
You know, like any other serious company might do.
The only reason he did this publicly is for the attention.

Yes. That’s the whole point of twitter haha
That’s the point of Twitter for users…“haha”.
The people running Twitter should act like professionals. If I was Mr Beast, I sure as hell would not even reply to such a tweet.
The people running Twitter should act like professionals.
Once we have presidential candidates that can act professional, I’ll hold some twitter guy to that standard.
Oh I see.
I guess I’ll wait with baited breath for when you’re ready to hold people to that standard. I suppose until then you won’t understand why this is just embarrassing for Musk.

I think Musk is fine if some lemmy migrants from reddit think that he’s embarrassing for tweeting at big streamers about twitters video platform.
I get why people are doubtful about Musk. I just wanna see YouTube’s monopoly broken and streamers/entertainers get their due. I do not like how YouTube treats content creators. Maybe a competitive alternative is a good thing.
Twitter ran by musk is unlikely to be our savior
Any competition is good competition. If he offers competitive earnings to youtube, youtube is pressured to improve their product or pay for views.
Isn’t Youtube doing that already? I see way more ads nowadays than I used to, when I’m not using ublock origin (yay non-Android smart tv). Also blocking users with adblockers, etc.
Competition is not always good.
So you think video streaming services should be in a monopoly?
You think that will be the best for the consumer and content creators?
I disagree.
Hey just fyi, you responded to the wrong comment :)
haha new to lemmy, thanks!
I see someone was hypnotised by penguinz0
Srsly though end these hollow phrases.
Competition is not always good. Competition between wage labour drives down wages, competition between countries for capital drives down taxes for the rich. Half of all competition is a thing called “a race to the bottom”
WRT social media networks competition is first and foremost pretty dumb, there is no use for thousands of social networks with 10 users each. A single social medium that is participatory and has regulating mechanisms is way more beneficial (you’re using one that tries to live up to that btw)
Whatever little good comes out of the competition between two asshole oligarchs is more than made up be them keeping dominance over peoples means of communication and their attention and selling every datapoint to
Honestly we have to reflect on the propaganda we’re told in school and don’t just repeat empty phrases.
Just a couple minutes ago I saw the phrase “where there is demand there will be supply” applied to pirates that crack games who are obviously not paid.
There is lots of demand without supply. Peoples starvation is not met by demand, but the demand for facelifts and botox will always be supplied. Bc supply is only created where capital is willing to pay for it
Competition is not always good.
So you think video streaming services should be in a monopoly?
You think that will be the best for the consumer and content creators?
I disagree.
What fucking wild times we live in. This whole Elon vs Zuck thing about copyright. And how I see more people want Zuck to win. And now, we’ve got Musk trying to go after YouTube.
It’s a mess.
I in no way want Musk to win. I just think the whole series of events is wild
I never thought I’d see people rushing to and championing and saying how much they love a new Zuckerberg owned platform like they have with threads lol. Everyone’s always saying they want facebook to die, and how they won’t use anything with a facebook account, and so on…and then bam, 100 million users in a few days lol
They got users by signing people up automatically.
Tired of hearing about Threads, Zuckerberg, and Elon, can we talk about something else on Lemmy or what.
Elon’s living in your head for free and its hilarious.
With what money, Elon? You can’t afford to pay Google or office rent but you’re going to pay Mr. Beast?
He’s perfectly capable of paying both. He doesn’t want to, and because he’s rich, he doesn’t have to. There is a reason billionaires end up with so much money, and fairly compensating other parties isn’t it.
They don’t have to rip other people off, they just choose to. I had a girlfriend whose family was quite wealthy… she loved shopping at the dollar store, and her mother acted overwhelmed with glee when she found a dozen past-date eggs for .65 at the grocery store. Is that how they became wealthy? Fuck no, they inherited a hotel.
