I never, ever see any actual ads anymore. It's either some dude with an Indian dude smiling saying "Hello!" or the same exact ass picture from "Hailey201238712985723" or "Jonah9018328412873" advertising the same porn site. No advertiser worth their salt would ever advertise on Elon's Twitter.

No user worth their salt would be on there either...

Which raises the question, why are you still seeing Twitter ads? Lmao

This is the right question... People keep bitching... Yet are on the platform. Do the same thing as reddit, fucking LEAVE

I'm getting adverts for prostate cancer and kids book charities. You are just a perv clearly. /s

Prostate cancer is a pretty hard sell.
