Well I for one am actually looking forward to relevant ads.
On Twitter I've been shown everything from industrial mining supplies, nipple covers, psychology research papers, super yachts, home shopping network junk and just now an ad for an oral dosing technology conference.
Twitter is positively inundating me with "ads" from people boosting their twitter profiles, all dedicated to crypto, health "hacks", finance gurus, yoga teachers etc etc. I feel like Apple ads were the ones I saw most and now I've not seen an Apple ad in over a week. It really feels like advertisers are all pulling out
I’m finding Apple News actually provides me ads I click, and Reddit did briefly too. Neither of those apps ask nearly what Threads is asking. They are more tailored towards the content being shown though, and I turn down permissions whenever I can.
Anecdotally I’ve never purposefully clicked an ad on Twitter, I think either the buyers or the algorithms are off there.
That's always happened to me; I think if you follow any doctors, it shows you ads for medical conferences, but I can't tell if that's Twitter messing up or the people placing the ads setting the display audiences wrong.
Did Twitter always show you the same drop-shipper ad multiple times on the same thread? I'd be mad if I were an advertiser on Twitter, some of those ad impressions feel fraudulent to me, as a user.
