To be fair I’ve had a Twitter account for over a decade. I was pretty much part of the millennial group that originally joined the platform when it was brand new. We used it like we use group texts now. The platform turned for the worst years ago, but I can’t recall a single “advertisement” from any business on Twitter, ever.
I’ve seen more advertisements on APC than Twitter. The platform went from goofy messages, to hyping up edgy thoughts, to tossing out shade towards others via “subtweet”, to turning liberal propaganda into groupthink with banning specific individuals and creating bots to only “like” certain ideals.
