Hey everyone, it's Bonus Dose day, and this one was a lot of fun to put together. Watching Twitter's downfall is like watching a tornado hit a trailer park, except you're actively rooting for the tornado. This week's video takes you a little under the hood to find out how advertising even works on Twitter, and WHY the ads you're seeing have gotten so bad lately. Enjoy!
Have you been on Twitter recently and noticed that, not only are there MORE ads, they're all for COMPLETE GARBAGE? Buckley risks a computer full of malware to figure out just what these ads are and why they've taken over.

Man someone's gotta tell the people of Brampton and Mississauga this... I was at a mall in Mississauga a few weeks ago and it was busy as hell

Poor naive Buckley, people don’t go to the mall anymore.

Also don’t forget the bullshit “gourmet marshmallows” and plushie companies that are always running deals and then have 500 comments under every post of people complaining that they never got their order

I see this content everywhere now. It’s the same type of stuff on the Snapchat explore page. I just call it “mind garbage”. All the ads are useless Chinese scam products, bullshit slime and hydraulic press videos, or complete and utter scams like Amazon gift cards or deals for stores that don’t exist. It feels like I’m back on 2009 forums with the “hot moms near you” ads popping up
