Experts in social media and advertising say an advertiser exodus has left X reliant on smaller, less reputable ad buyers.
  • X users are complaining about an influx of low-quality ads promoting crypto scams and AI “undressing” apps.
  • The decline in reputable advertisers on X has made the platform more reliant on less reputable ad buyers.
  • The exodus of advertisers, partially due to Elon Musk’s controversial behavior, has left X with a growing revenue gap.

      Yep, money is too good to be true for a job like that for one thing but I saw someone talk about it and a few others like it. You go through all the steps, give them your personal information, and then you get dumped on a generic job seeking website and then get spammed to death for months.

        $25 an hour is sadly not too good for any job in the US these days. $50k doesn’t go that far anymore.

          Define “the US” because 25 an hour is living a life of luxury in much of the US that’s not a major city

                $52k before taxes, about $41k after. It’s an ok wage a lot of places but I defniitely wouldn’t call it a “life of luxury” anywhere in the U.S. and I’m from one of the LCOL places in the U.S., the midwest.

                You definitely won’t starve but you’re also not going to retire early.

                    $50k is still very much working class. Yeah you own a car but it’s a 7yr old Nissan sedan, nothing luxurious about it. At $50k you’re not missing that many paychecks before it becomes a very real issue I promise.

              I was slightly exaggerating sure, but 25 an hour outside of a city is a lot of money.

                $25/hr is barely a living wage.

                Are you factoring in vehicle payments, maintenance, insurance and fuel?

                A lot of people have a cheap transit option in the city.

                  Yes. When I lived out there I would’ve killed for 25 an hour. I was making 7.50 an hour and with a roommate I lived pretty okay. At 25 I could’ve lived alone and still saved

                Until you need a doctor and suddenly discover a lot of rural areas don’t have any.
