Anyone else experiencing this issue where ads randomly pop into view when you stop to read a tweet? Elon must be desperate to juice the ad revenue numbers

For some reason, I have been thinking about this moment a lot today. It's from John McCain in 2008 at a town hall. The woman begins to espouse conspiracy theories about Barack Obama's nationality. He immediately shuts it down. "No ma'am. He's a decent family man."

it's so funny how for weeks everyone telegraphed "she's gonna bait him" and her team was like "we're gonna bait him" and he managed to act normal for like 3 minutes and then she said one thing about his rallies and it was like feeding a gremlin after midnight

Hey @gopuff, who approved this? Seems a bit insensitive and cruel towards all of those Drizly employees losing this jobs, no? Choosing mockery over compassion speaks volumes about your company

idk guys this seems bad
A PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES MUST HAVE FULL IMMUNITY, WITHOUT WHICH IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM/HER TO PROPERLY FUNCTION. ANY MISTAKE, EVEN IF WELL INTENDED, WOULD BE MET WITH ALMOST CERTAIN INDICTMENT BY THE OPPOSING PARTY AT TERM END. EVEN EVENTS THAT βCROSS THE LINEβ

Obviously advertisers would love it if their posts showed up without any sort of "ad" or "promotion" tag so it looks more organic. I imagine @elonmusk and team are desperate for ad dollars and are willing to start pushing legal boundaries

This also goes against Twitter's own rules: "All Promoted Ads are clearly labeled as "Promoted" when an advertiser is paying for their placement on X."

But instead of creating a healthy, welcoming, and safe ecosystem that is appealing to would-be advertisers, they'd rather artificially inflate engagement metrics and deceive both users and advertisers. Not a great sign for what's to come. (6/6)

I can only assume that ad revenue is down and @elonmusk and his team want to lure in more advertisers by producing data that shows engagement with ads is up. (5/6)

So instead of getting back to your regular 'Following' feed as intended, users are accidentally swiping through ads instead. A cheap and unoriginal trick. (4/6)

This new 'For you' page, which loads first by default, features a swiping carousel of advertisements that just happen to be *perfectly* placed where a user would put their thumb to swipe between these two feeds. (3/6)
