[Xitter] just announced a smart TV app for streaming video. Or, more accurately, that it claims it's building one, with absolutely no launch date mentioned. The appropriately-named [Xitter] TV wants to be “your go-to companion for a high-quality, immersive entertainment experience on a larger screen.”

Get ready for new shows starring Ben Shapiro and Gina Carano, or whatever right wing loser they manage to attract.

Imagine being so entrepreneurial that you think you need to buy twitter for way more than its worth in order to develop an app that does something entirely unrelated.

Please, do anything fucking useful with your vast amounts of wealth. Anything.

"Xitter"?

Reads like "chitter", sounds creepy enough.

Propaganda app full of right wing video, fox news, Russia Today and the TikTok channel.

How is the X in xitter pronounced? Is it "sh" like in Xi? This seems to fit this time line, but it would be nice to have confirmation.

That's how I use it. And it works.

Justin on MBMBAM recently talked about a "Xeet" instead of a tweet, pronounced "Zeet" and I thought that was also hilarious.

English is a descriptive language instead of prescriptive, so make it happen!

In my head, it's more like Zitter

He should do more of them, actually.

If it looks like a joke and sounds like a joke, it's probably made by Elon Musk.
