Elon Musk continues to change things on Twitter at a breakneck pace, and on Saturday the CEO (think he still hasn’t found someone to take over?) said advertising on the platform had gotten worse. Musk acknowledged that the social network sees too many ads on Twitter, and that the ads themselves take up too much space, and has taken measures to address them. “We will take action,” he said. Finally, Musk reiterated that there will also be a new, more expensive subscription tier that removes ads entirely.
The option to pay to get rid of ads entirely has been something Twitter users have wanted since at least the first Twitter paid subscription was introduced. They saw an ad on the site. Musk has previously hinted at a fully ad-free upper-tier subscription Coming mid-December 2023 last year. At the time, Musk also said his Blue subscribers at existing rates would see half as many ads as free users.
Musk acknowledged the disappointing state of Twitter’s advertising shortly after overseeing the network’s end of support for third-party clients. Twitter blocked API access for these clients from last week, abruptly revoked access to its largest clients including Tweetbot and Twitterific, and earlier this week updated its developer guidelines to remove access for all such clients. completely blocked.
