I still follow Twitter a bit because it is a better source for local news than the cesspool that is Nextdoor. Over the past two months or so I haven't seen a single big brand advertiser.

A quick scroll right now: ads for a shirt that hides belly fat, a dating site for unvaccinated people, a "natures dongs" 2024 calendar, a website that may or may not sell ketamine, and a few knockoff "mindfullness" and sleep aid apps.

Twitter is the new cable channels after midnight advertising where you randomly run an ad for a food chopping device and see how many insomniacs call and order it.
