  • 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.

Haven't met the undressing bots yet. But my account somehow ended up in a bot list and I get @ by at least 3-5 crypto bots daily. Quite annoying.
