I’ve given up most of my Twitter usage but every time I go there to view a tweet the ads are always some kind of knife self defense class or bizarre right wing causes.
I’d imagine that even when IBM and Apple were still advertising, it was much less than before.
- nkozyra 3y ago90% of what I've seen for months is dropshipping companies called Flurghh or Zamblot but Apple, Disney and Amazon were the few recognizable names.
- Waterluvian 3y agoMine are really really weird. They’ll be an ominous photo of Elon with some headline like “This changes everything” from some blue check person account with 500 followers and the URL is like, “vegans.site” or something else entirely unrelated. They’re not even running low-end ads at this point. They’re running generated clickbait. Oh and absolute blatant trademark violations. An ad with Elon’s face and the X logo for “X Coin official ICO” How can they possibly pivot to money handling services if they have no choice but to let their brand be completely eroded like that?
- nkozyra 3y agoYeah a lot of that. And OnlyFans models replying to everything as cheap marketing. And bluechecks spamming to drive engagement to make their $8 back. It's really been a race to the bottom.
- anigbrowl 3y agoThe other day I came across an ad in the form of a sponsored post (with an official Twitter link inviting me to follow the screenshotted accounts) for 'feetfinders.com', a foot fetish website. It was teasing $195 bounties for pics of good looking feet trampling apple pie.
