  • 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.

We learned in D.A.R.E. that X is bad for you. Seems like X in its digital form is also bad for you and for its dealer.

I was told to test your X to make sure it wasn't laced with something else. Pretty sure the online X is laced with a lot of racism, transphobia, homophobia, sexism, and everything else that makes a fascist get their dick hard.
