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!
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
SUCH GUD BIZNESS MAN
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.
