In early March, it was reported that Company X was planning an app for smart TVs that would work as a YouTube-like service. A source in the company claimed that the service would allow watching «long videos on a large screen». It was claimed that the app could have appeared a few days after the announcement on Amazon and Samsung TVs, but apparently this did not happen.
In January 2024, in blog X declared its function as a video service and listed many related facts, including:
«X is now a platform that is primarily video-centric: people watch videos in 8 out of 10 user sessions… We have enabled the upload of long videos. In December alone, people watched 130 videos in 130 years lasting 30 minutes or more».
Elon Musk actively encourages people to use X as a video platform. Videos such as Tucker Carlson’s interview with Putin and the video of the famous YouTuber Mr. Beast are getting a lot of views online.
