Elon Musk desperately seeks to add attractive incentives to Twitter Blue users, with the aim of increasing the number of subscribers, and in turn, improve the finances of the little bird’s social network.
In addition to automatically verifying the accounts that pay for that program, offering you other extra exposure services and functionalities, now the mogul announces a new option for videos.
This is a new time limit on videos within the social network of microblogging which will be up to 2 hours long if required.
Through a tweet, Musk announced that Twitter Blue subscribers will have this benefit.
Twitter Blue Verified subscribers can now upload 2 hour videos (8GB)!

Shrek Movies on Twitter
Many users, in order to test the tool, decided to upload movies that last less than two hours, among those the children’s hit Shrek.
The film became a trend due to the number of users who thought about the success of DreamWorks to test it on Twitter.
“I never imagined seeing the full Shrek 2 movie in a tweet”, was one of the most shared messages in recent days on the social network.
Other users appreciated that this feature can be used to upload videos from YouTube or Podcast.
Possible legal consequences
These actions carried out by users, after the announcement by the Tesla CEO, could generate a new problem for Twitter, since it would become a platform where users would illegally upload content that is protected by copyright.
Already in the past, large companies have required YouTube or Facebook to remove some titles that users upload on their platforms.
Copyrighted material can only be disseminated where its permissions are purchased.
