New Delhi. Since taking over the reins of Twitter, Elon Musk, popularly known as “X”, has been revolutionizing Twitter. He is constantly introducing new features to improve the user experience on this microblogging platform. Recently, Musk added the functionality of audio and video features on the X, and now, he has introduced another notable feature: the ability to post movies, TV series, and podcasts.
This new feature not only expands the type of content that users can share, but also opens up a new way for customers to make money. Musk announced the update on Twitter by retweeting his sister Tosca Musk’s tweet. He highlighted that X users can now post TV series, movies, and podcasts directly to the platform. However, there is a condition for sharing movies and podcasts: users will need to subscribe. This subscription model implies a monetization strategy for content creators and potentially adds a new revenue stream for Twitter.
The addition of these features is in line with Musk’s vision of transforming X into a multi-dimensional platform that caters to the diverse content consumption preferences of its users. By integrating different media formats like text, audio, video, and now movies and podcasts, X is growing into a comprehensive social media ecosystem.
The move also underlines Musk’s strategy to differentiate X from other social media platforms by offering unique and innovative features. Additionally, by incentivizing content creation through subscriptions, Musk aims to promote a creator base on X, which could further increase user engagement.
