I accidentally turned off my AdBlocker on Twitter, and discovered that 98% of their ad revenues must come from shitty clickbait slide show websites
It's like one of those pretentious AltWeekly newspapers that only survives because of escort & massage parlor ads
Literally the first 4 ads in my timeline. Congrats on landing some real Tiffany accounts there, Twitter ad sales department
I've come to the conclusion that the entire Silicon Valley economy depends on Third World sweatshops creating cut & paste slide shows of What These 80s Celebrities Look Like Today
"Banh! Your Saved By The Bell Stars Today slideshow did not meet click quota! I double your click goal for next week!"

Update: almost 3 weeks after reporting the hacking of my account @iowahawkblog, this I finally heard back from Twitter Support. Enjoy a chuckle.
Let me 'shplain to you slowly what happened, as I have tried with @TwitterSupport.
On Sept 29 my account was hacked. The hacker changed my profile, including my handle (from @iowahawkblog to @barkbiteblog), my @Phone #, and apparently my email.
I know this because when I tried to login on Sept 30, it asked to send a verification code to phone ending in "51." My phone does not end in "51", and besides I never had phone # in profile. I know, my bad.
"Are you seriously telling me the New York Times has come out against Trump? Man, I need to sit down and rethink my vote." - literally not one person on Planet Earth
THIS JUST IN: for the first time ever, Jack Chick to publish cartoon tract against Satan
Maybe it's just me, but I'm getting a wee bit tired of being told my vote is a matter of LIFE AND DEATH that will determine THE VERY FATE OF THE SOUL OF THE NATION.
Cripes I've seen suicide doomsday cults that are more subtle
I continue to believe that it is up to Twitter to decide what content and what users they allow on their website.
I also continue to believe that Twitter is, hands down, the shittiest website in the history of Planet Earth.
But, at this point if Congress enacts anti-trust legislation to break up Twitter into 500 Baby Twitters a la Bell Telephone, I'm not gonna drive to Washington to protest it
I wouldn't be against a content-neutral law that limits any social media site to a maximum of 1 million user accounts.
Hello Dave, this is Kyle Snidker in Remsen, I am the DeKalb sales rep for eastern Plymouth and northeast Woodbury County. I have been trying to get a meeting with your dad, hoping you could help out.
I was hoping to show your dad some yield result brochures for our exciting new VT Double PRO® corn hybrids before Spring planting season. If you can make it happen I guess I could give you a couple hats.
