The only ads I'm seeing lately are for unlicensed t-shirts, fake laptop sites and clickbait-articles. Almost starting to look like a pirate service from the Internet's early days, just with less trojans.

I saw an ad for a pair of reading glasses where they used them as a chisel to break bricks in half and it made me LOL pretty good

Reading the comments, the actual quality is garbage. So on par with the rest of the ads.

Happened after they hosed up the "with replies" tab last night. Which was my main destination as a lurker who only cared about posting from a handful of Twitter accounts.

Then, this morning a good reminder of how low performance can go lol. No more reading twitter for me!

Can't wait for them to ask for a login to read embed. Will make most of the internet 250% more pleasant to read.

When I clicked one of the embeds around fifteen minutes ago, instead of going to the embedded tweet or the login page I was instead shown the "twitter for websites" page.

https://help.twitter.com/en/twitter-for-websites-ads-info-and-privacy

So my guess is that they plan to eventually charge websites to be able to show embeds.

It's good but it needs more ways to link up with cool content that isn't just the "for you" tab on Twitter.

But that kind of works in it's favor because it reminds me of the olden days of the Internet. There's some real gold in there if you get lucky with boosts or just checking what cool people are following.
