twitter feeds r full of ads all the sudden. i think they're fake. [View all]

or at least, not being booked/paid for by the tweeters.
every 3-4 posts is now ‘promoted’. they are for truly weird things. the 89 yo granny’s bra. teenie nonprofits. i got curious, and started checking them out.
about half are the pinned tweets. if not, they’re a recent post from someone w a check, blue or yellow, but no pinned tweet. saw 1 w about 100 followers, and nothing to sell. these arent actual paid ads. i’d place a decent wager on this.

i think eloon is just flooding the place w ‘ads’ to make it look like he isnt circling the drain.
i’m blocking them all, as are others. if u go there, block, block, block.

i’m sure the story will come out at some point.
