Could gifting it to someone be considered harassment?

Lol, this seriously looks ridiculous. It reminds me of when 9/11 happened, and I was with [PURCHASE HEXBEAR PREMIUM TO CONTINUE READING THIS MESSAGE - $2.99]

Incredible that every one of these features can be done without a subscription with one of a few third party twitter clients.

lol this is gonna be really fuckin bad. It looks like they monetizing what would have otherwise been standard updates to their platform, in addition to a few things already able to do with browser extensions. I’ve blocked SO many advertisers on twitter my mobile experience is also pretty damn good, not sure if ads have anything to do with this shit though. I have to imagine twitter blue users might have some type of priority type thing eventually showing up more on people’s feed too.

Now that monetization is happening, keep an eye out for them purging all the adult / NSFW content

Can you recommend any Firefox extensions to block promoted tweets? The only one I’ve ever tried turned out to be malware (even though it was in the Firefox repository fuuuu) and redirected my browser only to have my ass saved by MalwareBytes :agony-consuming:

I’ve also recently configured a pihole server to provide network wide adblocking, but it doesn’t seem to work against the promoted content on major websites (youtube, reddit, twitter) since they seem to have gotten wise to the adblock techniques.

Idk if there is one, that’s why I mentioned blocking brands so much throughout the years when I use mobile. I turned off personalized ad options within twitter settings and I almost never see add on desktop either. It’s easily over 500 brands blocked by now probably. Any time I see an ad on mobile I just block the account

Shit I didn’t know you could block ad accounts that’s genius. Thanks!

In general if ublock origin and maybe a script blocker like noscript can’t block it then there’s a good chance it can’t be blocked easily.
