On Ads, perhaps you have an adblocker on your desktop, but on mobile you’ll end up forced to use an app, and given twitter’s api is now pretty much closed off, there will be ads in those clients/apps.
Elon needs to make money, and you will eventually see ads or give him money if you use his platform
- K5EiS 4y agoI was about to specify I use Ublock, however I don't get any ads on mobile either. Scrolling down maybe 10 pages worth and not a single ad.
- zhte415 4y agoBefore Elon, Twitter needed to make money too; it had long distanced itself from its pre-2010ish self in mission and leadership, though that statement suggests at least some independence over the drift of the population during that time.

- wlonkly 4y agoSome of them self-fund, some of them solicit donations, and at least one I know of has a sponsorship. But they don't generally seek to make a profit, just cover costs.
