Thursday on X (Twitter), all users saw the same pinned topic under the “What’s happening?” sidebar. As part of a “timeline takeover” — which gives advertisers “priority access to logged-in users’ first impression of the day” — conservative media nonprofit PragerU is promoting the hashtag “#DETRANS” to advertise its new film about “the stories of detransitioners.”

      This is why they’re losing advertisers left right and center.

        Yeah no way that anyone who is actually center would be happy with transphobe ads. That’s only the techno-right Elon Musk praisers that believe that because they accept technology, they’re not far right even if they are unaccepting of large swathes of society. Center implies accepting points of view in both sides, which is not compatible with intolerant stances.
