No, you’ll constantly see ads from everything. The only limiting factor is that you block the brand’s account. Even then they were discussing the possibility of forbidding the users from blocking ads.
Bold move to admit that what was reported was both true and an intended way for ads to be served on Xitter.
I know, right?! “The user has to follow our brands and our extremist content!!!”
