X is rolling out audio and video calling features that nobody asked for.
This move is a part of the plan to transform the platform into an “everything app” like WeChat, following Elon Musk’s ambition.

Let me guess: this stuff will be really flaky if it works at all. Building a reliable platform for video calling isn’t exactly trivial.
Considering they can’t even handle user authentication properly, the idea that they can manage a reliable audio/video infrastructure is laughable.
Right? Video calling is a whole different level of server requirements, real time bandwidth, processing power on audio and video compression for both ends of the conversation. For a dude that doesn’t like to pay his debts, I wonder who’s going to be leasing him the hardware and space.
I wonder if they’ll just use WebRTC and use peer-to-peer. Which is you know, revolutionary… cough
I mean how many users would use this? It’s not that hard to maintain infrastructure that can hold 5-6 concurrent calls
