Twitter is Not Social Media!!!

   Hello, this is TheTechBoy with a special article. It is time to admit that Twitter is Not Social Media!!!

   Twitter started as a social network that lets you post 140 characters and was later expanded to 280 characters. Twitter also supports Direct messages, Twitter spaces, and even short videos. Typical social network things. Well, Elon Happened

  After Elon Musk took over he added subscriptions people could pay for and they would get a blue checkmark and extra functionality including longer higher resolution video uploads, better engagement with your tweets, and the ability to make paragraph-level tweets. 

  The inclusion of these features has turned Twitter into an 8-dollar-a-month web hosting service for creators. People who pay can now quite frankly run their own mini-media company. They can host a live podcast via Twitter spaces, tweet out full blog posts of text, and upload videos up to two hours long. 

  On top of all of this people can pay to access tweets. If you have Twitter blue people can subscribe to you and get access to exclusive tweets. This is groundbreaking and many people and companies are taking advantage of it. MKBHD and the Babylon Bee have subscriber tweets, people are uploading more videos, and Daily Wire paid to have What Is A Woman premiered on Twitter. However, the inclusion of longer videos means that this site should become a YouTube competitor.

   It is time to admit that Twitter has evolved and changed and that it is a publishing platform first and foremost. 

God Bless, and Tech Talk To You Later!!!
