100% of the ads I see on Twitter today are dropshipping scams, while in the pre-musk era they were highly targeted to my job and interests to the point that if there wasn't the "ad" tag I couldn't distinguish that.
They can't cost the same for the advertiser, a generic dropshipping scam that targets everyone must be cheap
plus, twitter could track the impressions and conversion rates, so they could charge even more for that, too.
