It's paywalled and I'm a little confused by the apparent disparity between the title and the claim that most of the advertisers have since returned?

Which is it?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

The claim in the headline is based on one agency seeing only 2 of its 28 clients using X.

The X statement says that about 90% of its biggest spenders from last year are advertising again.

These could both be true. My opinion is that the first doesn’t mean much and the second is damn lies.

I am sure you can trust everything out of X. Just like you can trust Musk. If I remember correctly he claimed it was the Jews 😱 who were to blame for the decline in X advertisements. I guess he correctly identified the problem and fixed it. /S 😆

Yeah, I have no trust in Musk or X. I'm just trying to understand the actual circumstances. Just because I want X to fail and Musk to go bankrupt, doesn't mean I should uncritically examine headlines that conform to my hopes and expectations.

Edit: So the full story is the major advertising conglomerate is all but calling X and Musk liars. Delicious.
