With Linda Yaccarino’s appointment as the Twitter CEO, Elon Musk is finally making changes on the tech side of things. The billionaire owner announced a new feature for Twitter Blue subscribers. Now for their monthly fee of $8, Twitter Blue faithful can upload videos for as long as two hours on their accounts.
When the tweet announcing this feature came out, the internet reacted lukewarmly. While some are praising this addition, others fear that this move leaves the user base open to potentially conservative content. There are also jokes about how Twitter is heading to become a streaming service with people wanting to upload movies.

@Kurdistan_AR chimed in with the advantages and disadvantages of this feature, hoping it could serve as an alternative to Youtube.
Long videos are good, and I hope you focus on them as an alternative to YouTube.

Short videos are bad. I hope you don't imitate tik tok, shorts and reels

But not everyone is happy with the tech billionaire. @777jorgeivan would rather Elon Musk restructure the foundation of Twitter instead of adding new features.

@BallinKy was much critical, calling Twitter a breeding ground of hate. He won’t be coming back to Twitter.
That’s it. I can’t take it anymore. Elon Musk’s anti-democracy authoritarianism has officially RUINED this website. It’s nothing but racist bigots, nazis, and Trump supporters.

I will be leaving Twitter and I won’t be back until he steps down.
