Anecdotally, over the past few weeks the quality of ads I see on Twitter has deteriorated sharply. I used to primarily get ads from well known brands, but now I'm seeing ads for random products like rat traps.

rat traps: me too. the bucket with the trick plate dropping them down?

over the past 2 to 3 weeks the ads shown to me have gotten more and more small fish, bottom of barrel, and wildly unfitting for me. and weird.

its easy to predict the ones I'm seeing are by advertisers bidding much lower $ than the previous average. reasonable to extrapolate and predict Twitter's advertising income has likely crashed. I've heard from enough other people all experiencing the same shift over the same period

Interesting. How do you see ads on Twitter?
I've been only seeing crypto-shilling and sports betting.
