I’ve noticed more ads lately than prior to Elon being involved.

I used to get ads for Apple and Nike mostly with the odd thing in between.

I haven’t seen a Nike ad all week , but apple is showing up and tons more ads in asia showing up.

So I’m convinced there’s more ads than usual.

Both those things can be true. If many of the top advertisers pulled their ads then they could be going out to the long tail and showing a larger number of lower value ads to compensate.

It's also possible you're in an A/B test to show a different ad volume.

In general sample size of 1 for ads (or feed ranking) is hard to reason about.
