The few that I have seen have been pretty good. I also like that they can be added to Ads, and many Ads running on Twitter right now have community notes because they're clearly saying one thing while the product does something else.

Yeah I’ve been surprisingly impressed. I remember the first thing I saw like this was Instagram’s fact checking which almost immediately turned into nonsense with people leaving fact check posts for obvious shitposts and memes.

The community notes on the other hand, seem to be well place, pretty informative, and in a few places surprisingly detailed.

Damn that's crazy. Users seeing ads, watching them in their entirety and writing about them?! An advertiser's wet dream. Unparalleled engagement
Not when it boils to basically "this is a video of a completely different product that costs 25x more than this one, don't buy this."
Unless the fake ad was actually intended to drive traffic to the original product, which is an obvious perverse incentive introduced by this tool.
Do you think they know we know they know we know?
I think there was a time you could comment on Reddit ads as well, but eventually advertisers seem to disable the feature due to negative comments.
