It’s crazy how I bypass all that with simple adblockers. I don’t think I ever see ads on Twitter. Five billion dollars spent on information asymmetry from users that don’t know how to block ads. I guess I don’t even think about the ad part and workers needed for it.
- woodruffw 4y agoYou (like me) are probably an outlier: over 90% of Twitter users probably use the Twitter apps, which make adblocking much harder (although not impossible -- people maintain mass ignorelists!).
- karmakurtisaani 4y agoI also feel like people who know of and use adblockers are less likely to be persuaded by ads. So losing that segment is not such a big loss for a platform.
