  Now, we're going to get into this a little bit more right
• 1:10
  after this word from our sponsors.

  Musk has demonstrated a particular interest in long

  form, social media platforms, and in a move seen as a direct
• 1:20
  competition with YouTube, recently introduced a feature
• 1:23
  that permits users to upload videos of up to two hours in

  length. This significant adjustment is
• 1:29
  coupled with an influx of exclusive shows.
• 1:32
  Aired on Twitter, adding a brand new dimension to the platform's
• 1:35
  engagement strategy. In what many perceive as an
• 1:39
  ingenious move. Twitter is leveraging the

  popularity of names to attract more viewers.
• 1:45
  A prime example, is the exclusive Show featuring X Fox
• 1:48
  News host Tucker Carlson aptly named Tucker on Twitter.
• 1:52
  A show offers, a fresh perspective on the intertwining,
• 1:55
  worlds of media and Technology. One could argue that the Twitter
• 1:59
  of today is worlds apart from its original Incarnation.
• 2:03
  It's not merely a platform for microblogging anymore but a
• 2:06
  versatile Hub of multimedia content in among the key
• 2:09
  players. Tapping into Twitter's expanded
• 2:11
  functionalities is Apple TV, the tech Titan recently promoted
• 2:16
  Silo a science fiction series and its streaming service using
• 2:20
  a unique strategy that involve Twitter in the days, leading up
• 2:24
  to the season finale of Silo, Apple TV plus shared the full

  inaugural episode through, its official Twitter account.

  Tweet quickly, amassed more than 37 million views on a personal

• 2:50
  first episode for free. Now the response from Twitter
• 2:53
  was overwhelmingly positive. Well known YouTuber, mr.

  B's commended the decision stating smart move.
• 2:59
  I never would have heard of the show and now I'm watching
• 3:02
  episode 1 and invested. And with such endorsements Apple

• 3:19
  subscribers compared to Netflix's staggering amount of

  reminiscent of marketing tactics used by Twitter.
