Elon Musk's X now showing 'clickbait' ads that users can't block or report

According to a report, Elon Musk's X platform has started showing "unlabeled ads" to users that they cannot block or report. These ads redirect users to third-party websites without disclosing the advertiser's identity. Users have noticed these new ads in their feeds and have described them as similar to spammy, low-quality advertising. This move is seen as an attempt by X to cope with declining ad revenue. The platform aims to become profitable by early 2024 and has already witnessed the return of many advertisers. However, X has yet to announce an annual profit in its 13 years of existence.
