Ahhh now I understand. X is pushing videos to get you INTO the full screen video feed. Wonder if they’ll add a tab bar button to just go straight to that

I get it now. X is literally competing directly with tiktok, just without full screen video bc the change would be too jarring to users. https://x.com/anthonymuffins/status/1816452110285762794?s=46&t=1znVA-6f1LI1qvsp8w99Kg

Fb benefits from more content because they own the dominant networks. Free AI built into meta reduces risk of challenges to their network dominance and increases engagement. Good strategy.

Hypothesis: AI is going to make it cheap to ship “apps,” but none will have built in networks. Web2 identity (incl phone #) will be popular login inside UGC apps, but are unsteady foundation for building lasting businesses. Farcaster will miss the opportunity to become the identity primitive for GenAI UGC apps because these logins will need to be free. Are GenAI UGC Apps an opportunity for a free to use DiD protocol to become a new identity base layer? Free like seed phrase. Piggyback off phone numbers + contact book. Free and permissionless for AI devs to use. https://x.com/2irl4u/status/1815932895057305891?s=46&t=1znVA-6f1LI1qvsp8w99Kg

There’s no great way to test this, but I wonder if the design of social platforms has an effect on IRL behavior lot of confounding factors, but for example does being an “Instagram person” make you behave differently than a “Twitter person”

renaming twitter to X has the potential to be the greatest rebrand in history but until they fully realize its potential as the defacto super app of the west it's arguably the worst

news broke and has been breaking first on twitter/x long before musk took over. the platform may not be dying by definition, but i suspect a lot of people are disappointed with the changes on the platform because of the great (mostly unrealized) potential it has sure it's growing and breaking records every day, but that doesn't mean much for the consumer social industry. first order metrics are less important when all social platforms are expected to grow - it's the *rate of growth* that matters and twitter has been under delivering on for years X is not even close to half a billion users after all these years and we don't even know what percentage of that number constitutes "real" users
