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.

So it's literally the same as on YouTube, and therefore basically everything else using google ads?

Since when do "high quality ads" exist? I mean, the mentioning of "low quality ads" implies that those others might actually exist.

There's low quality ads, shit tier ads and then there's whatever Muskyboi is attracting these days.

Probably meaning ads for real products and travels etc.

And it's only a matter of time until those AI undressing app get banned by law. Good.

Well he told advertisers to fuck off so they did.

To me as an average Joe it seems pretty dumb to tell your advertisers to fuck off when they provide a big chunk of your income but hey, I'm not a stable genius billionaire so I just don't get Elon's 5D chess moves. Right?
