This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I still use Twitter but I have no idea what the quality of ads is like since they're long blocked. I could well imagine that there is some absolute bottom of the barrel garbage and scams a plenty.
That's what happens when you cater to a bunch of right-wing extremists and literally tell mainstream advertisers to fuck off.
Hail adblock!
SUCH GUD BIZNESS MAN
Didnt Netflix just start doing ads on there again?
Hadn't heard that, do you have a source?
I'd be pretty surprised if most didn't start their ad buys again. Even if it's lower volume (and at discounts). As soon as everyone stops focusing on these things (after a month or whatever) things tend to go back to business as usual.
The article indicates they haven't yet, though.
Wish I could cancel our Netflix subscription for a second time, but fortunately/unfortunately we stopped giving them money when they announced they would fuck around with accounts shared within a family. Eat shit, Netflix
And it's only a matter of time until those AI undressing app get banned by law. Good.
Too bad, so sad
Oh no. Anyways...
I have very little doubt that in the mind of Elon Musk the people who after all this are still using X-Twitter are lusers.
One perspective on this might be that Elon and friends have successfully identified a set of dubious advertisers and hate-tolerant userbase.
Who wouldn't want to corner a user base like that? Used to have to become a priest to have people hooked so thoroughly.
Another perspective would consider that Dime Store Alex Jones probably has a much smaller marketing budget than, say, Disney.
Elon has cultivated a hate-tolerant user base, and has found himself with the kind of advertisers that user base gets you.
