Have you noticed a huge surge in the number of promoted tweets you’re seeing? Almost every other tweet is some promoted sheeite. 100% of them are garbage, irrelevant and a bunch of rubbish. (As in it’s not ads for well known brands, it’s all promoted tweets from “life coaches”, patent peddlers, pharma companies… just a bunch of nonsense)
This started yesterday. Anyone else seeing this? I block them as fast as I see them but they just keep coming |  |

Yes, see exactly the same. It is not as bad if using Tweetdeck rather than the app. I guess with many advertisers pulling out, Elon has to start making money through other means. |  | | |

Yes, has increased over the last couple of months. At the same time the quality of promoted tweets has got far, far worse. |  |

This is basically the reason as I understand it. It's to make signing up for "Blue" more worthwhile. |  |

My twitter isn't too bad tbh, but facebook is just a bloody mess of promoted content, post world cup 90% of it is either pro Messi or pro Ronaldo accounts. All a bit weird. |  |

I wondered that but the ones I’m seeing are not from blue ticks; just utterly random nonsense. Just now a random guy from the Netherlands with 16 followers tweeting about New Year’s Eve. Beyond ridiculous but probably what happens when there’s a psychotic man-child in charge.

I keep getting Land Rover ads. Not sure who is able to afford these the things but it certainly isn't me. I must be doing something wrong. |  | | |

I'm at a loss then. But given they've fired a bunch of their employees and apparently changed their architecture, weird stuff like this might become the norm. | |

It’s a tsunami of irrelevant bulls5it. Clicking the “why this ad” option gives the answer “such and such is trying to reach people aged 13 and over and living in the US”. Way to go and really zero in on your target audience!
You’d expect this from bots and crypto scammers but it doesn’t even seem in any way sophisticated or organized. | |

I believe that if you change from "home" to "latest tweets" at the top centre of the screen you get fewer ads/ promos.
It's more of a "pull" rather than "push" feed. You may lose some stuff you want to see ... |  | | |

Did you post "We need a new Defender", after one of ITFC's last minute giveaways, perhaps? | | | |

Damn you - for a minute I thought you had had confirmation of our promotion via a tweet. Still 3rd it is then | |
