Wow dude I'm totally going to add "tweet writer" to my grindstack. I can tweet while I wait for ubers in between grubhubs in the instacart queue while dropping off my etsy orders for my vlog.
Fucking sick bro.
"X'er"...? You mean like the neopronoun...?
I've never heard it used as a neopronounce but I have seen it used to refer to Gen X a lot.
The joke is about xe/xem/xyr — xer is a variant spelling of xyr, and is sometimes used in place of xem as well.
tweets? you mean exes?
Xcreetions
"you're early" to a site that predates mobile "apps" as a term. twitter's been around longer than the iphone. You originally tweeted by sending a text message to it, hence the character limit.
but yeah it's hilarious how transparently identical this rhetoric is to crypto scams. Same people, same playbooks
no way, I did not know that. Thats wild
Influencers get the wall first
become an X'er
Does he mean mean joining 
on his 50something gen-X midlife crisis? 
Also, here we go again with another "play to earn" bazinga fantasy. 
shit.
Idk how the play to earn people reconcile that games produce no value and any money going out is money that came in. Like, no, nothing is being created with value here chief.
Saw a very funny tweet by some NFT/crypto game dev about how their team worked real hard to make a real game, unlike most crypto game projects, and all the userbase cared about was $
I guess it's kinda like finance but more stupid. Nothing of value is created, you're just throwing money around and putting it in different boxes.
I got 200 bucks. pay in 8 dollars per month for a chance to also maybe get 200 bucks.
You're early = you're early to being a mark for this latest scam
When will this type of guy go away
When we stop tolerating them.
Never, sadly. Grifting is here to stay and is more pronounced now that social media lets fringe ideas flourish instead of getting stomped out by local communities.
With them getting rid of the block festure supposedly, why not just go further and straight up remove people's ability to choose who they follow?
the thing about youtube that we all know, is that it is very feasible to make money off of it. like it definitely isn't just producing videos at a soul crushing pace for pennies in the vain hope that you can go full time while also working your equally soul crushing day job for an employer that at least pays you enough to make rent.
The comments are all shitting and memeing on this but it's actually concerning because... money. This is going to make Xitter seem more attractive for people to join and harder for people to migrate off to open platforms like Mastodon, thus giving Muskrat and big tech more control.
Youtube has the monopoly they do because of their easy monetization and algorithm and we all know the kinds of things Google is doing these days to abuse that position (WEI, blocking ad blockers, forcing watch history). I'm worried, because of big tech's power to negatively affect society, and for the people that will be drawn into this because they desire money and fame. It's a negative feedback loop that's becoming harder and harder to break.
X will run out of money to give cause it's a shit platform. Money can't fix this problem
Snap used to give out literally millions every single day to Spotlight creators, and in the early days, some people were making hundreds of thousands of dollars off a single viral post with dozens and hundreds of millions of views
They still failed to make a dent in Tiktoks market share
Yep, Twitter still loses billions a year, and even more now it took on debt to be owned by 
, it will go bust fairly soon, in terms of a few years.
Nah, it's just going to fill it with shitty content churned out by people using AIs trying to make a quick buck, ripping apart any value it had remaining. It's a desperation move with no concept of what effect it will have because Musk really doesn't understand the social digital space.
Well I’m no economist, but I seem to remember that paying out profits requires… *checks notes*… profits
