I could ignore the stupid ads and the stupid posts. After the election I just can't bear to participate in anything that might give any satisfaction to Musk.
Indeed I was really getting tired of seeing fake gameplay of Evony every other post. I even tried saying I don't like this ad and it'll still keeps coming back.
Right? I haven't seen a shitty watch ad, Bible ad or ugly shoes or trading cards. I don't even know what to do with myself since I don't have to block those.
Couldn’t agree with you more! I was doing more “ad blocking” than anything else. The worse were the ads that you couldn’t block, but took you to a webpage when you tried to block it.
It is great, though it always makes me wonder, how is this platform monetized? How do they keep the lights on? Obviously not that curious or I’d look it up 🤦
I won't hold my breath on it, ads will slowly begin to be integrated one way or another like every other website and social media app does, but I'm enjoying the peace while it lasts.
Give it time though. It's a free app. The more people will use it, the more server space they will need to pay for, the more they will need to monetise
My favorites were the ads with community notes warning about the ad being fraudulent. Didn't anyone consider that it would be better to just not accept them? I can't imagine the advertisers liked it...
One thing that advertisers on the bird site need to learn is that they are unlikely to get repeat customers and some users(me for instance) will put their company at the bottom of any purchasing list.
Is it weird that part of me misses seeing the same pig shirt from Temu in every ad slot for no clear reason?
The endless spam ads are awful, but at least every so often there’s a glitch that’s kind of amusing?

💯 agree
No boobs yet but it’s only been a minute
It was getting so bad, sometimes there’d be 2 ads for every tweet. Sometimes 2 ads in a row for the same damn thing.
Bluesky is like “whoops, all berries!” While X is like “whoops! All Nazis!”
So much better here.
When ads do come, I'm proposing they only be Public Service Announcements, no private advertisers first thing.
the noise? gone. obliberated. ong this feels so good 🥹🥹
Mind you I'm going to make occasional references to my wee business when appropriate
Previously I had 2 accounts, had to open the one with this name as I became too sweaty and angry for my business one🙀😹🐝
An ad that you can’t block 😡
Of course not dealing with the hate and Magats is high up on the list also.
I spend WAY too much time at the other place, reporting as spam, then blocking.
And now they're 98% m*ga propaganda.
Very chill.
Easy to block brain cell loss
It’s… It’s nice.
The key difference:
It’s not (yet) owned by a FASCIST.

Having the ability to block certain ads was doing my head in 🤪
Eventually I started blocking ads on TwitterX and elon punished me for that.
Good riddance blue bird, Hello Blue Sky.
