I’m not gonna risk my computer by turning off my ad blocker, but I wonder if that article comes with exactly the kind of chumbox ads that they’re rightfully criticizing.

How much would it cost to show 2girls1cup as umskipable ad to musk fanboys? Asking for a friend…

Ads can either be identified and blocked, or they are so hidden that the FTC gets involved.

This is a no-win situation for Twitter.

Also it sounds like a great way for malware distributors to be unidentifiable and Musks little shitshow to take the full criminal responsibility instead.

I’ve blocked all Twitter ads since it got taken over by hate groups and will continue to successfully block them forever.
