Nikita has stepped down - im throwing my hat in the ring
ive been a power user of the app for over 10 years
I have a lot of feedback
below is a list of changes and product direction ill implement
- x payments - this is underway but would make x the financial app of the west
- this includes p2p payments, this includes being able to sell stuff, this would also include payments direct and subscriptions direct to creators - prioritise x payments
- i would downregulate any external links in bio to cashapp/onlyfans/throne - all wishlist apps will have to go through X
- would aim for every source of money movement to be done natively in the X app.
- x money - all ad revenue and all x creator payments would have to go through x money - all money stored on app via payments etc will get additional APY
- add blockchain support for all financial apps.
- this would make it extremely easier for people to earn money in app. more people will be taking it seriously
- paid tweets - all advertisers would need to register with x - no undisclosed ads - all businesses advertising here would have to register with X
- this will allow x to collect business info and even create better ads that it can take a % of - all tech launches spend money on amplification - this needs to be ad revenue for X
- kyb and advertising will also apply for creators - they already dox - but for those making money as full time creators - specifically adult content would need to register with x
- there are alot of onlyfans agency operators that pay meme accounts or KOLs to soft shill or reply to them - this is undisclosed and X needs to be part of it. this will also help minors.
- there needs to be an X extension /app store - this will increase in app economy and will increase monetisation - any app that uses the x api - can be eligible for this and can work as a skills market place for grok !!!! - chrome store + skills marketplace for claude
- i would allow people to block people of certain demographics and countries - give people way more information and control over their feeds
- would allow people to choose who to see on their timeline
- would allow people to fine tune their own algorithms
- would allow people to sell and share their own algorithm settings to others
- would add financial payments for DMs as well as paid groupchats etc
- re. freespeech - would increase this even further - i would even bring people back who have been perma banned
- re. livestreams - i work w new media companies andwould improve this - right now the reels algorithim is incredibly bad - would prioritise live feeds and clips for livestreams
- would heavily invest in content thats is here in terms of livestreams
- i would try to get youtubers and live channels like fox and nbc to stream on twitter
- will also push for netflix and ufc to have live events on x.
- video reactions was also good but feel like its not been used or pushed in the algo as much
- something controversial ill add is newsletters - i will do this by allowing users to add emails and push notifications to emails - and ill articles to be pushed out as emails - this is long foresight - substack started out emails and now has tweets - we can easily kill them by adding newsletter support via articles
- podcast support is not good - spaces is good but they die and are too ephemeral - need to add podcasts and transcriptions of these - there were voice tweets and they died - we need to bring these back.
- would also think about bringing back vine as a videofirst only twitter platform - and x the everything app. - i think this is aligned with @elonmusk's vision
- search - the search function hasnt really been updated in 20 years - it needs to be improved - need to be more granular in what im searching for - i should be able to search for articles, spaces, mass amounts of content - way too bad. again i should be able to choose what country - were more granular parameters.
