Just imagine that Twitter (FuckX) becomes the only media site with no ads because no one wants to deal with that trash fire.

Sorry, but there is a bottomless sea of scummy programmatic ads.

You just get the Nike/Apple/Disney ads replaced by crypto/porn/drugs.

@northendtrooper 4chan still gets ads. There's not a bottom to that barrel.

But there's no way in hell they will get enough ads to pay the huge annual interest on the debt that musk took to buy the thing in the first place.

The bankruptcy will be funny. Some day.

Which then drives more people in, and after a while more ads. Win win win scenario
