| 0:00.0 | Today, start working on not touching your face because one main way viruses spread is when you touch your own mouth, nose, or eyes. |
| 0:16.0 | We're all gonna die, aren't we? |
| 0:17.0 | Sop you beautiful bastards, don't be even a fantastic Thursday. |
| 0:21.0 | Welcome back to the Philip DeFranco Show. |
| 0:22.9 | Buckle up. |
| 0:23.6 | Hit that like button and let's just jump into it. |
| 0:25.8 | And the first thing we're going to talk about today are tweets and fleets. |
| 0:28.9 | And if your reaction is, what the hell is a fleet, Phil? |
| 0:31.5 | Yeah. |
| 0:32.1 | So Twitter announced yesterday that they're testing a new feature specifically in Brazil that allows users to publish content on Twitter that will disappear after 24 hours. As far as why they're called fleets, it's supposed to be a mixture |
| 0:41.3 | of tweet and fleeting thoughts. And pretty much just like a regular tweet, it is text-based, |
| 0:46.0 | but can also be accompanied with a photo, a video, a GIF, just like with a Snapchat or an Instagram |
| 0:50.0 | story, it disappears after 24 hours. So essentially, Twitter pretty much the last to the game on this. I mean, even Facebook and YouTube have their versions of stories. And before going further, |
| 0:57.5 | I want to point out that my opinion on this pretty much doesn't matter. Back when Instagram stories |
| 1:01.6 | came out, I was like, wow, I can't believe they ripped off Snapchat. That'll never go off. |
| 1:05.6 | And now, I mean, as far as stories go, I primarily use Instagram stories. So you never really know until things are implemented |
| 1:11.1 | what people will actually use, what will catch on. Now, as far as this test in Brazil, of course, |
| 1:15.4 | if it works there, they're going to test it out in other countries. And as far as why the company |
| 1:18.7 | is testing out and rolling out this new feature, you have the company's product lead tweeting |
| 1:22.0 | out. People often tell us that they don't feel comfortable tweeting because tweets can be seen and replied to by anybody feel permanent and performative. We're hoping that fleets can help people share the fleeting thoughts that they would have been unlikely to tweet. And my gut reaction to that is no. Just think about 90% of people that have been at the focal point of any sort of cancel situation. It's tweet. You already gave people the ability to go, hey, I had a thought. |
| 1:44.2 | I should share that with the entire world. What's the worst that could happen, happen, happen? |
| 1:49.1 | You're going to launch this product that's essentially like, hey, you know the stuff that you left |
