This is the best summary I could come up with:
It also plans to spend $1.6 million to promote the creation of news content for its shortform Shorts service.
According to Google, the new watch page experience will initially roll out on mobile in around 40 countries and will expand to its desktop and living room interfaces in the future.
Meanwhile, the Google-owned video platform is also pledging to spend $1.6 million to promote the creation of shortform Shorts news content with over 20 organizations across 10 countries.
Meta has made it clear that it doesn’t plan to actively court or promote news content on Threads.
More recently, he added that Threads “won’t proactively recommend news content to people who don’t seek it out.”
Under his leadership, X no longer shows headlines on articles shared on the platform and has dismantled the system that verified journalists.
