The community needs to get serious about video. Not just on Twitter—YouTube and Reddit are table stakes too. Here's the thing: we're in a video-first world now. Short-form, long-form, it doesn't matter. What matters is that static posts and threads are yesterday's playbook. Building momentum means meeting people where they actually spend their time. That means clips, tutorials, deep-dives, debates—anything that moves. The projects that win aren't the ones shouting the loudest anymore. They're the ones who understand that attention flows through video, and community power comes from being everywhere at once.

The era of text is really over; who still writes long copy? --- Video is king; projects that don't focus on video will eventually fall behind. --- In-depth analysis + short video blitz, this combo is truly unbeatable. --- Hey, wait, how do we do that on Reddit? Feels like it's still a text community. --- You're right, but execution is super difficult. How many teams actually have people who can edit videos... --- In the attention economy era, this is how you play; static content? Forget it. --- Long videos on YouTube are the real way to accumulate, short videos are just eye candy. --- Got it, it’s all about covering TG, Discord, YouTube, Xiaohongshu, right? --- So the core is still content quality; otherwise, no matter how many videos, they’re all trash. --- Our community is working on this, and the results are much better than pure text.

Wake up, still posting text messages? You should have made videos long ago. --- That's exactly why those big influencers are editing videos. The text era is really over. --- You're so right. One good video on Reddit can generate the same buzz as a hundred discussion threads. --- The problem is, you need something to say when making videos... A video full of empty words is better left unposted. --- YouTube is truly a black hole for traffic. If you're not there, you'll eventually get beaten. --- Projects that don't do well in short videos are basically dead. No more pretending.

That's why our projects that only post Twitter screenshots are almost dead.

This really hits the nail on the head; the era of text is truly over.

Video is king; static posts should have been phased out long ago. --- Traffic on YouTube and Reddit is not given for free; project teams still only posting tweets need to wake up. --- It's getting intense; both short and long videos must be produced, or you'll be left behind. --- That's right, now whoever has better video content wins; just bragging is outdated. --- Being everywhere is key; the community must spread content voluntarily. --- In the past, posting an article seemed sophisticated, but now it depends on whether the video can truly attract viewers. --- Editing, tutorials, in-depth analysis—must master all, none can be missing. --- Grabbing users' attention means grabbing everything; taking the video route is the right choice. --- Some projects are still relying on old methods; just wait, they'll be washed out sooner or later.
