📸 What I'm Watching - Dear Twitter! - In case you missed it, Elon Musk has bought Twitter and has a lot of plans to revolutionize the platform. He paid a huge $44 Billion for the platform and now needs to monetize it to start earning some of that money back.

‍

Many creators have tweeted Elon with suggestions on how he could do this and judging from Elon's replies, it seems that we may see a lot of new video content on Twitter from content creators soon.

‍

Tech YouTuber MKBHD released a video earlier this week detailing how he would help creators to monetize their content on Twitter and it's fascinating. Highly recommend watching it if you have any interest in creating videos on YouTube and how Twitter could compete.

📸 What I'm Watching - Why Everyone Is Wrong About The YouTube Algorithm - This video was on my homepage for about a week now and I finally checked it out. If you don't know how the YouTube Algorithm works, I highly recommend you watch this.

‍

It's a great explanation and something that I thought was common knowledge, but reading the comments it's clear that there are many YouTubers that are still creating content without knowing how YouTube actually works. If you're unsure if you fall into that bucket, definitely watch the first few minutes.

📚 Creator News I'm Reading - Sidemen Star Begins Training with a Football Club - A few months back I headed to my local football team in London to watch the Sidemen take on the YouTube AllStars in a football charity match. The teams consisted of YouTubers such as KSI, Mr. Beast, iShowSpeed, and more.

‍

Tobi and Simon of the Sidemen stood head and shoulders above the rest with some incredible goals and overall performance and it seems that they've caught the eye of legit football clubs as they start to train with Crawley Town FC.

‍

📸 What I'm Watching - Incredible Video Editor Looking for Work - Earlier this week, Danzey, a video editor and motion design for The Beta Squad tweeted his showreel which went semi-viral in the Creator Economy space on Twitter. I was pretty blown away by his showreel and if you're looking for a video editor this looks to be the guy you should reach out to!
