      To post content recorded on your console to your followers/friends. So creating content for the platform that drives engagement. You never know when some random video posted is going to go viral.

      Kinda dumb shutting off platforms that give your platform content. Oh well…

        that a fair point, but ive never seen any good videos that come from these platforms, none gone viral, if anything is saving x bandwidth of all the shit children be uploading. Im no twitter fan, but some of these articles are so anti twitter is kinda suspicious.

          I disagree. You cannot tell me no popular gaming videos were uploaded using this method, millions of people play on PlayStation, and short form gaming content has only gotten more popular. This cuts a huge step out (no need to mess around getting it onto your computer to upload).

            I’ve been around fps gaming social media (which is primarily where a clip button gets used) for a lot of years now, and can confidently say I’ve never seen an auto-upload go viral. Clipping straight from the console is a pretty terrible experience on both sides. Sucks as a creator because you have 0 options over the upload and a very short time limit. For the viewer it’s a very low quality clip that’s a fixed length.

            If anyone is at all serious about content creation and wants to even attempt something viral it’s got to go through a capture card first.

      If the platform is still around in ten years, I’ll still call it Twitter out of spite.

      Previously it’s one of the ways to get the screenshot and videos from PS4/5, the other is using usb flashdisk which is rather cumbersome. Now they have a feature to upload it to PS App, so using Twitter is not that needed anymore
