The most watched video on Kirk's YouTube channel was a clip of a girl who may or may not have accidentally exposed her nipple when adjusting her top. Let's not overstate this.

Suggests it is "not an actual real change in how it’s built. It just seems like an ownership stake and a rev share. It’s the same app, the same ranking system […] I’m not sure what to make of that."
