Starting Thursday, we'll be updating our revenue sharing incentives to better reward the content we want on X: We will be giving more weight to impressions from your home region—to encourage content that resonates with people in your country, in neighboring countries and people who speak your language. While we appreciate everyone's opinion on American politics, we hope this will disincentivize gaming the attention of US or Japanese accounts and instead, drive diverse conversations on the platform. We invite creators to start building an audience locally. X will be a much richer community when there's relevant posts for people in all parts of the world.

Really happy to be working with Disney to bring some magic to Sora and image gen! Disney is the best storytelling company in the world, and our users really, really want to generate content with their characters.

🚨 you know what just happened today and it's actually shocking.. everyone is acting like epic games just quietly let go of a few people.. no.. they just fired over 1,000 employees.. tim sweeney put out an official memo and literally admitted they are spending way more money than they make.. fortnite engagement has been dropping consistently since 2025.. they are forcing another $500 million in hardcore cost cuts.. they completely shut down the entire rocket racing mode.. and they just raised v-bucks prices a few days ago literally just to "pay the bills".. he claims this "isn't because of AI".. but the reality is the biggest cash cow in gaming history can't even afford its own burn rate anymore.. and the craziest part.. disney literally just injected $1.5 billion into them.. and they still can't afford to keep their top engineers.. the golden era of massive, bloated live-service studios is dead.. if you're building a SaaS or game right now.. you better be running a lean operation.. it's only getting crazier from here.

Epic Games is laying off over 1,000 employees. Tim Sweeney: "I'm sorry we're here again. The downturn in Fortnite engagement that started in 2025 means we're spending significantly more than we're making, and we have to make major cuts to keep the company funded." This comes shortly after Epic raised V-Bucks prices The company is also implementing over 500 million dollars in additional cost savings.

🚨everyone is distracted by the macro news.. and Google just quietly dropped a nuke on the entire $21 billion influencer marketing industry.. they just fully integrated Gemini into YouTube Studio.. AI now analyzes billions of data points to automatically match brands with 3 million creators.. no agencies needed.. brands can now turn organic creator videos into performance ads across all screens with one click.. boosting Shorts conversions by 30% instantly.. they dropped the receipts too.. YouTube is now driving 86% higher long-term ROAS than standard paid social.. they didn't just build a matchmaking tool.. they built an AI that completely replaces the middleman between billions in ad spend and the creators.. every influencer marketing agency just watched their entire business model become a free drop-down menu in Google Ads.. if you're building SaaS in the creator economy right now.. you better hope you're building something Gemini can't do.. it's only getting crazier from here.

78% of viewers say YouTube has the most trusted creators for product recommendations. That’s why, at the YouTube NewFront, we introduced YouTube Creator Partnerships — the newest evolution of what most creators know as BrandConnect. Brands will be able to use this centralized platform powered by Gemini to find and partner with @youtubecreators.


🚨 The $90 Billion illusion just collapsed. Let me explain the real history behind Meta's VR disaster. -> They spent billions on hardware but ignored human nature. -> Strapping a heavy, sweaty screen to your face for a legless corporate meeting is high-friction misery. -> Reality Labs lost $19.2 billion in 2025 alone. -> Total cumulative losses are nearly $90 billion. -> You cannot sustain that cash burn when Wall Street demands real revenue. -> To stop the bleeding, Meta gutted Reality Labs. -> They fired 10% of the division and shut down top VR game studios. -> They realized pouring capital into a fundamentally broken user experience doesn't fix it. -> It's all about the AI Arms Race now. -> Meta is funneling that VR budget straight into data centers and custom silicon. -> They need to train massive Llama models just to survive against OpenAI. -> They aren't abandoning hardware; they are abandoning immersion. -> They pivoted heavily to AI-powered Ray-Ban smart glasses. -> Glasses augment reality instead of replacing it. -> It gives Meta's AI a literal first-person view of your life to harvest data. The Metaverse didn't just fail. It was systematically dismantled to fund Meta's survival in the AI supercycle.
