X’s New Domain Of Streaming Services
Elon Musk’s X is gearing up to release a TV app for smart TVs from Amazon and Samsung. It is said that the interface of the app is “identical” to the YouTube TV app.
Social network X is rolling out additional ad targeting tools in an attempt to entice content creators away from YouTube. Later this month, on both individual profiles and the main timeline, advertisers will be able to post advertising before videos created by particular producers. Authors will have an additional means of making money off of their work in the form of a revenue share.
In a succinct X comment, Musk stated, “Coming soon,” to a user’s post indicating that the platform’s long-form content could be viewed straight on smart TVs. X, the old Twitter and now controlled by Elon Musk, is branching out into a new area after introducing voice and video calls. Elon Musk acknowledged that the X platform is launching a streaming service, posing a fresh threat to Google-owned YouTube. The company’s future service would let customers see lengthy videos on their smart TVs.
What’s The Agenda Behind X’s New Move?
The billionaire has expressed his intention on the very platform, X that all they want is for the community to be able to at their convenience and comfortably watch long videos on their big screen televisions. “You can already use Apple AirPlay to play videos from your phone to your TV,” the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla continued.
This decision by X, as observed by one of Musks’ followers on the platform X is a rather strategic move towards diversifying its services and improving its competitiveness in the ever-expanding digital content realm.
Concurrently, X had launched another such initiative called ‘Articles’, a new method of sharing elaborate written content on the platform, unlike the traditional media. Articles with stylized content, enclosed images, and videos can now be posted on the platform X by its Premium users who pay for such services.
Furthermore, they have the ability to format such written content using bulleted categories, bold, italics,, indentation, numbers, and headings and subheadings, you name it! Like ordinary X posts, users may view their published writings on their personal accounts, and those who follow them are able to see them on their timelines via the new Articles page. The character restriction in Articles is more than the 25,000 character limit that is currently offered in the “longer posts” function for premium subscribers.
Moreover, X has forged alliances with the likes of former CNN anchor Don Lemon and Fox pundit Tucker Carlson in an effort to establish itself as a “video-first platform”. Since Musk purchased the platform in 2022, it has struggled to attract advertisers due to controversies. However, the platform announced that it will allow advertisers to place video advertising adjacent to specific content creators.
