Twitter. 

49
00:02:46,900 --> 00:02:50,000
Having rebranded the previous

50
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,900
into a subscriptions model musk 
has opened up new avenues for 

51
00:02:53,900 --> 00:02:55,800
Content creators and 
influencers. 

52
00:02:55,900 --> 00:02:58,600
They can now monetize their 
presence on the platform by 

53
00:02:58,700 --> 00:03:02,400
Offering unique content to their
followers but let's dig a little

54
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,500
deeper into musk's 
twittersphere. 

55
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,900
It's been reported that musk is 
following at least seventy seven

56
00:03:07,900 --> 00:03:11,200
people including Tech 
personalities, such as YouTuber 

57
00:03:11,300 --> 00:03:16,000
Marques, Brownlee, a Twitter 
spaces, host, Mario novel and 

58
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,900
content creator, mr. 
Beast, a parody account of, on 

59
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,000
Jerome, Powell and a mean poster
shitpost Gateway. 

60
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,100
Now, interestingly musk 
unintentionally disclose a 

61
00:03:27,108 --> 00:03:30,000
number of subscribers. 
Revealing an impressive figure 

62
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,900
of 24,700 users who were paying 
him for dollars per month. 

63
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,500
That was some kind of back of 
the napkin math here, that 

64
00:03:38,500 --> 00:03:41,500
amounts to about ninety nine 
thousand dollars per month, 

65
00:03:42,100 --> 00:03:44,900
that's solely from Twitter 
subscribers and this new 

66
00:03:44,900 --> 00:03:49,300
development arises as a breath 
of fresh air and loosening 

67
00:03:49,300 --> 00:03:52,800
Twitter's traditionally tight 
grip on user identities and 

68
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,600
providing a user Escape Route 
for Content creators while 

69
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,500
taking their followers along 
with them. 

70
00:03:58,900 --> 00:04:02,100
However, this mechanism might 
appear somewhat cumbersome 

71
00:04:02,100 --> 00:04:06,000
compared to the seamlessly 
portability, offered by emerging

72
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,700
social media networks. 
Now launched in April Twitter's 

73
00:04:09,700 --> 00:04:12,800

74
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,300
500 followers to charge for 
exclusive tweets and other forms

75
00:04:16,300 --> 00:04:19,600
of content. 
The subscribers under the new 

76
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,500
development would need to 
provide their consent for the 

77
00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:25,600
email addresses to be shared 
with the content creators. 

78
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,700

such open systems. 

82

social media. 
Forms some courtesy. 

88
00:05:00,300 --> 00:05:04,200
Just that musk should consider 
merging Twitter with platforms 

89
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,900
like Noster. 
Thereby making Twitter part of a

90
00:05:06,907 --> 00:05:11,300
larger ecosystem, while 
preserving its dominance and now

introduction of numerous novel 

93
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,000

94
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,400

musk's Grand Vision to transform

95
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,800
Twitter into an everything app. 
A hub that will cater to a broad
