X is left with advertisers pushing dubious cryptocurrency and AI 'undressing' apps, users say after Musk's outburst

Weird, this week they’re also claiming that TwitX has 24 times the engaged users of YouTube.
Prime example of "source? trust me bro". Elon can make up whatever metrics he needs to, but it doesn't make the platform any better
Advertisers surely know he's full of crap, too. He can make up fake views, he could even have bots click on ads, but unless he's also going to fake being a customer it will all come out in metrics. Savvy advertisers track all of that. Clicks per display, sales per click.
Maybe misspelled “enraged”?
Tbf I think the YouTube comment section has that one too
I’m curious about what their definition of “engaged” is. I imagine most people don’t make comments on YouTube videos, but twitter’s main focus has always been posting and commenting on others’ posts.
Scrolling by a video without even looking at it counts, apparently.
