Ha! You've got it better than the ones I was getting at my old public address. They basically said, "you will get our services" (not in so many words), and if I wanted to unsubscribe, I'd need to reply with something like "[UNSUBSCRIBE]" in the subject.

Funny! I would think they would have different app icons if they're separate.

I see! I would think they would want to keep different app icons for them, but okay.

It might be for you and me, but Cupertino is still on yesterday for a couple more hours. And even then, I would hope it doesn't release at midnight!

I haven't encountered any of those yet! I find it odd that they're doing it, but I guess requiring an account to advertise is a barrier that doesn't have to exist.

Also, I'm pretty sure my initial reply to yours pushed me over the 2.5K posts ledge. So, yay!

Yeah, I remember when they introduced those Google Ads, the frame around them still showed up even after my DNS filtering blocked the ad itself. I don't know if they're still doing them, but that frame is gone now.
Also, I find it funny that you say "look like" posts because they are just posts. 😂

I got $12.52, but, of course, my Bluesky account is unbelievably smaller than my X account. (2.5K compared to 19.4K)

I find it annoying, especially since it won't dismiss until you click through, but I really, really don't want this open to other advertisers. I cannot emphasize that enough. If that happens, I think I would genuinely consider only posting on X from then on, not reading/interacting with other posts.

Do generative artificial intelligences need to be one tap away on my car screen anyway? I don't think so.
