I thought this already existed for the right? Also, it’s ad free. I only heard about it a few weeks ago. The site seems decent enough except that the content is all awful and only dedicated to the right sided people…
Name is odysee in case they want to look.
Odysee has awesome tech. I love that every channel has an RSS feed, turning them all into video podcasts.
Was it intentionally named after the Italian word for “desert” (deserto) because he expects it to be a dried up wasteland, or was it just a coincidence?
Upon reading the title again, I now realise Dexerto were just reporting on it… Woo, 420 no-scope!
Gonna leave the original up, let’s all laugh at that guy!
Upon reading your comment I couldn’t figure out what it meant.
Now I think that X’s new video thing isn’t called Dexerto.
A website called Dexerto reported on the story.
Now did I get it right?
Yep, that’s exactly it! Dexerto has apparently existed as a general social outlet for a while, from what I’ve gathered. Overall media coverage.
Completely unrelated to Mulch’s new thing.
Edit: would’ve been a sick burn (my opinion), but now I just feel bad:))
That’s hilarious because Dexerto is a plausible name for it lol
Right?! I didn’t even think twice about it, like of course he’d add an “x” to whatever he makes next! I mean, what’s he got left, “y” and “z,” and neither has any of that edgy zing.
I have no idea lol, they mostly talk about topics that are trending on X, Instagram, TikTok, etc.
Can we have a singular day, where this cunt does not appear on the news? Just let him sink, together with his impulse purchases
I’d rather give the suspect/future defendant all the shovel he needs to dig
That’s what they said about Trump and now prosecuters are fighting tooth and nail to reverse the fact that one of his big cases just got dismissed.
Its all good. Nothing good or important or upsetting any of the old stakeholders comes without struggle. It will pass and bloodlessly so
Well it will happen if Trump is everyday on the news. Things can always get worse
I mean, I do wish there were a large competitor to YouTube. But…why this particular asshole.
For me it’s not about Elon Musk but the platform itself. For the right winger, X hardly has content that Rumble doesn’t have more of by order of magnitude.
Should have called it Y
Y-Tube might’ve earned them a few cease-and-desists from Google
Not Y tube, just Y. As in Y???
Feels like another hate-pushing cesspit to avoid.
If it makes you feel better, losing Brazil for Starlink and Twitter is something Elmo might legitimately never financially recover from.
There’s a lot of people in Brazil, they almost all usesd twitter, and it took like 24hrs of not being able to use Twitter before they all started joining bluesky or Threads. Once a social media user tries a new service, they might never come back.
Even if Elmo appoints someone as a Brazilian representative, he’s got millions in fines to pay now. And I’m pretty sure that number keeps going up till he pays. But his companies can’t exist without Brazil’s user base
Plus, the next step would be issuing a warrant for the arrest of the person responsible. I’d welcome a warrant for Elon, as it would limit his travels a lot.
That’s why companies need an office and a rep to operate in Brazil, to have someone who can’t pass the buck.
Brazil asked for records of the coup planners, Elon likes them, so instead of complying he shut down all offices and just kind of left…
Which doesn’t really work and was always going to end exactly like this.
The reason companies can just have a rep, is a concession by Brazil. Without one it falls on the CEO, which is Elon. So a warrant is possible for Twitter not turning over the data on coup planners and for his Internet stuff because he said they won’t comply. Which is why/how Brazil froze that companies funds for something twitter did.
It’s all strictly above board legally. It’s just for some reason people listen to elons version where he’s perfect and being persecuted
Yeah, trying to evade the law… Let’s see how that works out for him. I’ll gladly see him eat crow and be held to account.
In honor of the grand opening of our latest free speech absolutist platform, XTV will be screening a marathon session of Birth of a Nation

The more real-world ramification of this is that you’ll be able to watch alt-right and alt-light news channels on your TV that you otherwise might not be able to, like Real America’s Voice. Unless they add Spaces support (which it doesn’t seem clear that they did), I don’t see another significant use case for this.
It will give me hope if this flops, because maybe then the reason people stay with Twitter is the network effect, and not anything actually to do with its rancid owner.
Video hosting in general is not profitable, this is almost certainly not gonna do anything to help Twitter survive, hopefully they’ll shoot themselves in foot even more.
Why would this increase costs? I doubt Elon Musk is spending much money on the development of this, and I don’t see many people using this app so I doubt it’d hike hosting and bandwidth demands significantly.
It sounds like a YouTube clone from the article, so long form videos storage and streaming isn’t cheap, a lot more expensive than what x usually hosts in terms of bandwidth and storage per views. But yeah also seems like a niche use case.
Still no way there’s a net cost benefit to video hosting from as revenue.
I’m pretty sure half of the people on X don’t like Elon Musk, or care about him enough to form an opinion on him.
please call it twitter. X is such a fucking bad name
