  • X users are complaining about an influx of low-quality ads promoting crypto scams and AI "undressing" apps.
  • The decline in reputable advertisers on X has made the platform more reliant on less reputable ad buyers.
  • The exodus of advertisers, partially due to Elon Musk's controversial behavior, has left X with a growing revenue gap.

You advertise to your audience. Ads targeting the perverse and the stupid seem perfectly suited to twitter.

You may not like it, but this is what peak advertising looks like. Add in some T-shirts with swastikas on them, and they've nailed their target demographic.

I wouldn't be surprised if the far right wing christofascists start seeing CP AI generators adverts suddenly, it would fit their preferences so well.
