    Furthermore, one organization that had ads placed on this content claimed that it wasn’t an X advertiser at all. In a statement provided to CNN, University of Maryland’s associate athletic director told the outlet that Maryland Football hasn’t run a paid ad campaign on X since 2021.

    Interesting snippet. It would be very interesting to know how and why that happened.

      If a small portion of ads keep repeating, it’d show the shallow pool of advertisers left on the website.

      That or there’s no one at the helm for advertising.

      Either way, looks incredibly shabby.

        No idea. It is a kind of defamation but I think you’d struggle to prove it. You could, however, get shedloads of free publicity by banging on about it for clickbait.
