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

- X users are complaining about an influx of low-quality ads promoting crypto scams and AI "undressing" apps.
- The decline in reputable advertisers on X has made the platform more reliant on less reputable ad buyers.
- The exodus of advertisers, partially due to Elon Musk's controversial behavior, has left X with a growing revenue gap.

Didnt Netflix just start doing ads on there again?
Hadn't heard that, do you have a source?
I'd be pretty surprised if most didn't start their ad buys again. Even if it's lower volume (and at discounts). As soon as everyone stops focusing on these things (after a month or whatever) things tend to go back to business as usual.
The article indicates they haven't yet, though.

Eh, maybe if their MAU wasn't just on a continual decline. It's just not sustainable, especially when so much of the MAU are bots.
Wish I could cancel our Netflix subscription for a second time, but fortunately/unfortunately we stopped giving them money when they announced they would fuck around with accounts shared within a family. Eat shit, Netflix
