the feral hogs thing was some all time bad posting, a million people failing to understand that the original post was funnier than any possible riff they could do on it

Don't know if this has been posted and it is ukpoly but the point is v good: we need our own twitter.
It doesn't explore whether that could be Mastodon.

I watched two of those clips, having never seen more than five seconds of the movie before today, and holy shit, I feel like I suffered organic brain damage. That was one of the worst things I've ever seen in my life. And James Cameron is gonna waste the rest of his productive life making sequels to that shit?

One of the first ads I've seen on Twitter in the last few days is from the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia saying, "Saudi Arabia is transforming. Follow us to learn how."

yeesh if that's typical it's p much doomed. the bit about turning discontinued campaigns back on is esp bad

randomly turning on paused ad campaigns from the last six years seems like a good revenue stream for twitter #billinghacks

It’s fun seeing the complaints about Mastodon’s lack of an algorithmic feed. I agree, for what it’s worth. But I hope people understand Twitter has been, despite their size and resources, the champion of RecSys for the past decade. I write “was” because I believe Musk canned all of these people.

i try to only use twitter via a web browser with adblock extensions so I only ever see ads when on my phone using the app, and then I block basically every single company that serves me an ad; at this point, the only ads I am seeing are for fucking dumb gizmos, but I did see an amusing one for Snoop on a Stoop, a new elf-on-the-shelf alternative with Snoop Dog and a blunt.

ive been blocking all twitter ads that arent for junk food and booze for years i figured theyd start serving me just those after a while but no they dont care

yeah i've been blocking any account i see an ad from as a rule. twas a sad day when i had to block the nba but i can't be soft on this

I didn’t realize you could block the ad accounts until a couple of weeks ago. Seems like something Elon will get rid of.

I can’t believe it’s lasted this long, it has to render Twitter ads even more worthless than online ads in general.
For a while I was getting ads targeted at doctors treating HIV patients.
