  • X users are complaining about an influx of low-quality ads promoting crypto scams and AI "undressing" apps.
  • The decline in reputable advertisers on X has made the platform more reliant on less reputable ad buyers.
  • The exodus of advertisers, partially due to Elon Musk's controversial behavior, has left X with a growing revenue gap.

Since when do "high quality ads" exist? I mean, the mentioning of "low quality ads" implies that those others might actually exist.

Spanish national lottery has amazing ads. Like in the sense that the writing, direction and execution in general is always spot on. I know how it sounds but they are really little works of art.

Not many people in the world watch Spanish TV, so we might have missed the rare exception.

Actually, millions of people watch Spanish TV.
