This is wild. Every so often I make the mistake of checking out my X feed, and I did so today and clicked into a Tweet curious to see the replies.

What I saw surprised me in how blatant it was.

The same exact sponsored Ad from Senate Republicans showed up *11 TIMES* in the reply feed.

@rodhilton he's probably not getting a lot of takers for those column inches as ad space. might as well.

@rodhilton I get a text every 1-2 days with the same ask. They remind me of those old "forward to 10 people or you will get a heart attack" email chains back in the day.

@rodhilton I don't miss anything to do with Elon Musk. Currently very active on Threads with zero issues unlike Twitter/X where I had issues every single week. The algorithms on Threads seem much better written to me. My goal is to only be active on Mastodon. I'm super happy with babka.social. mastodon.social was a very poor fit for me.

@rodhilton even ignoring the ads, that looks so awful. I can't believe people still use it.
