X is left with advertisers pushing dubious cryptocurrency and AI 'undressing' apps, users say after Musk's outburst

You advertise to your audience. Ads targeting the perverse and the stupid seem perfectly suited to twitter.

404 Media report[ed] last month that ads promoting "semen stealing" were showing up on the site.

Wait what now

Well he told advertisers to fuck off so they did.

To me as an average Joe it seems pretty dumb to tell your advertisers to fuck off when they provide a big chunk of your income but hey, I'm not a stable genius billionaire so I just don't get Elon's 5D chess moves. Right?

I'm calling it now. Even if his aim was to not destroy Twitter from the inside, he will absolutely say that was his goal when it eventually happens.

People like this never, pathologically, ever, ever admit making a mistake.

Weird, this week they’re also claiming that TwitX has 24 times the engaged users of YouTube.

"The fact that X has made it abundantly clear that it has no desire to create a brand-safe environment has only solidified our recommendations to move to growing platforms with better opportunities for organic discovery," he added.

This is how you say "fuck you too" in corporatespeak

I don't use Twitter and my life is better off.

Ten is a terrible site anyway.

I'm starting to think that telling your customers to "go fuck themselves" may not be a sound business decision.

Since when do "high quality ads" exist? I mean, the mentioning of "low quality ads" implies that those others might actually exist.

Elon gets what Elon deserves

AI undressing apps you say? AI's about to make that video of Elon telling advertisers to fuck off a lot more surprising.

I mean....youtube is the same tho. I constantly get ads for apps that are basically flat out saying you can use it to make porn of anyone you want. Not to meniton the constant scams. There is that big one that pops up all the time claiming you can get a online only, no experience necessary, data entry job for Disney starting at something crazy like $25 an hour.

Musk is shit, X is shit but....all of them allow these kinds of ads.

People are still on Xitter? Gross.

What's that you say? Advertisers took his advice at that event seriously?

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 care just enough to say I don't care.

I was repeatedly called a GPT3 bot on Xitter. This was before it was even public.

How about we agree to call X/Twitter as Xitter. It avoids the confusion.

Be careful with undressing apps...do not point them at your really weirdo friends.

I still use Twitter but I have no idea what the quality of ads is like since they're long blocked. I could well imagine that there is some absolute bottom of the barrel garbage and scams a plenty.

And it's only a matter of time until those AI undressing app get banned by law. Good.

SUCH GUD BIZNESS MAN

Didnt Netflix just start doing ads on there again?

Too bad, so sad

I can't with this guy anymore, I just can't.

I have very little doubt that in the mind of Elon Musk the people who after all this are still using X-Twitter are lusers.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

They are also spreading rapidly across the internet, according to data from the social-media analysis firm Graphika, which warned such tools could be used for sextortion and targeted harassment campaigns.

Hamza Mudassir, a strategy consultant and lecturer at Cambridge University, noted that suspicious ads appear across all social-media platforms.

"However, I think the problem with X is that, because all of the large advertisers have effectively walked out, this is what you see in higher frequency, which basically produces a terrible time for genuine users on the platform," he told BI.

Since taking over the site, Musk has slashed X's content-moderation team and reinstated figures such as Alex Jones who was previously removed from the platform for abusive behavior, something that made advertisers distinctly uneasy even before the billionaire's recent controversies.

"The fact that X has made it abundantly clear that it has no desire to create a brand-safe environment has only solidified our recommendations to move to growing platforms with better opportunities for organic discovery," he added.

The Financial Times reported last month that X was attempting to offset the loss of companies like IBM and Walmart by appealing to smaller businesses and aiming to bring in $100 million in political ads during the 2024 election year.

Back button.

Haven't met the undressing bots yet. But my account somehow ended up in a bot list and I get @ by at least 3-5 crypto bots daily. Quite annoying.

• The exodus of advertisers, partially due to Elon Musk's controversial behavior, has left X with a growing revenue gap.

The main reason Twitter has a revenue gap is that Musk saddled it with $13bn of debt with his leveraged buyout. The business isn't failing because of Musk's management since then, it's failing because that was the purpose derived from the purchase.
