October 09, 2023

In episode #2577, we get into the truth about video views on X, formerly known as Twitter. There has been a lot of chatter about the benefits of posting on X, from Elon Musk asking MrBeast to post on his platform to the high view counts that Tucker Carlson has been getting. We use today’s episode to unpack how YouTube views differ from those on X, how to approach short and long-form content, and why it’s worth posting on X (even if your content is already on YouTube). Tune in as we break down YouTube’s stricter rules for what counts as a view, how they take engagement into account, the benefits of posting on X, plus a whole lot more!
