Yeah whenever I visit twitter now the adverts are really frequent, so maybe they just think "oh lots of ads, I guess the advertising revenue is normal". Like for every 5 normal tweets I see one "promoted" tweet, and about a third of the time it's some scammy product or service. I just went to twitter.com now and scrolled to check "normal tweets" (tweets or RTs from people I follow) and which were adverts:
- 3 x normal tweets
- advert (alza.cz)
- 3 x normal tweets
- advert (some scammy weight loss program called "mad muscles")
- 4 x normal tweets
- advert (t-mobile)
- 4 x normal tweets
- advert (some rubber feet product for washing machines so they don't jump around or fall over? is this a problem people have?)

You also live in an echo chamber. Twitter has put out more features in 6 months than in the previous 10 years.
Reduced headcount drastically and it's still working very well.
The biggest TV hosts are now moving to Twitter.
You live in an echo chamber if you think advertising has returned to the same level, it’s been well reported through various sources.
Anyway it’s all private so we can only argue against imaginary number. If you think that Elon is getting rich from this 44 billion purchase, only time will tell.
