Twitter plans to focus on video, creator and commerce partnerships to revitalize the social media company's business beyond digital advertising, according to an investor presentation by owner Elon Musk and new Chief Executive Linda Yaccarino that was reviewed by Reuters.

Yaccarino, who started as CEO on June 5, told Twitter investors on Thursday that the company is in early conversations with political and entertainment figures, payments services and news and media publishers, said a source familiar with the matter, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a private investor call.

Because video is so cheap to host... That'll definitely help them bleeding money (and users)

They're trying to turn into right wing TikTok.

@Dusty @NotBadAndYou Twitter and Reddit are a dumpster fire. Only difference is that Twitter knows already and Reddit is slowly finding out!
