Thank you to my roommate atshou for sharing half those Twitter ads with me. And Jack, Deemer, and Tyler for their help. And Jamie for laughing at the intro
✨ Thanks so much to the sponsor of this video, the Sludge Warehouse! 🔥
⚠Don't forget to use code "Tacho" over at sludgewarehouse.com/ while supplies last!⚠
And make sure to check out my Twitch, Discord, and Jack&Deemer's channel in the description! They just released a video w/ me over there too!
I made an order for $50 and the order got seized... wtf???
okay thats dedication
website seized??? they seized the goop. :(
sponsor block:
algorithm, bless this man
"I only had 5 engagements on my ad!"
"Yours made more than one impression?
"You guys had impressions?"
lol this site is COOKED
"You guys ran ads?"
Me with the ad blocker:
"You guys are gettings ads?"
"you guys got your ads accepted?"
So did Twitter basically just defraud 2 people in this video? Straight up they stole $11
They stole Jacks $10 and then also stole Deemer’s $11. I gave Twitter $51 total and they stole $21 of it
@@tachophobicatI could 100% see them getting investigated for this. If you 3 had so much stolen from you imagine just how much is being stolen from everyone else
They also invoked a reoccurring payment from one of them.
Idk how it's in the US, but doing this without the users consent would be considered fraud where I'm from.
also hi owen
@@robiaster Lol, hi Alphons !
ONE IMPRESSION???? ONE??????? ONE SINGULAR ONE???????????????????????

charging someone money for a subscription without their direct input sounds really illegal
it is
@@lonelybookworm Knowing U.S. laws it might be 100% legal.
@@ADJLfanatic52 Well they are Canadian and I'm sure that Canadian laws don't allow that shit.
Was it an actual subscription or just one of those scams running rampant using the media coverage that Musk is getting? There have been many scams on random sites that charge using "Twitter" as the recipient.
It most certainly is-assuming there wasn't anything in the ads policy about being charged automatically when submitting ads. Perhaps this was the norm, and the other 2 getting it for free was the mistake? I doubt it though lmao
Twitter took all my money. Fuck my stupid deemer life bro
I don't think you were ad support
did you try contacting ad support?
Dude you should've just contacted and support 🤦♂️
maybe contact @adsupport next time
99% of Twitter advertisers quit before they get a hit AD

I think Dazzx has a legitimate case to sue. He never authorized them to buy premium and when he complained about it, they just trolled him. I hope he does the right thing.
dod Dazzx read the full terms of service?
true
@@fatfurry even if he did, that's a material breach of contract (we will run ads for you (does not run ads)) AND fraud (they made an unauthorized purchase in his name)
the other guy who got one impression ALSO could hit for material breach of contract
@@carbonmonteroy but the purchase could have been authorized through the TOS
@@fatfurryjust because someone puts something in the contract does not make it inherently legal. Alot of employers do some shady stuff and try to convince you that since you signed the contract you have no say, call their bluff.
bro i didnt even think to question "sludge warehouse" as a sponsor until it cut to the viewer
truly capitalization
CAPITALISM I MEANT
You’re so intelligent :)
my finger involuntarily went to the "skip 5 seconds" key, I stopped it at the last moment
Right lol I was like “hmm this is probably some compost or recycling thing” jfc fix my brain
@@lemongeth your brain is fine (or at least this in particular isnt a sign of anything), its doing pattern recognition like a normal brain does, its the everything else that needs fixing
This is really interesting because I'm an Amazon best-selling author, and I figured I could sneak in a bargain bit of marketing whilst twitter/X is having these issues attracting other advertisers. I built a pretty inoffensive ad. Basically just the cover for the first book in my flagship series with a short description. But it KEPT getting rejected. They wouldn't tell me why. Their support team was completely unresponsive and even when I asked for a review, it would just get rejected again. I have no idea why or what could possibly be wrong with it. This is my book, I own the IP, the cover isn't AI generated and I'm an established author/brand. There was nothing offensive or risky about the description either. After a few weeks I eventually gave up. What a stupid system where someone running a legitimate business is trying to give you money to advertise inoffensive content and you say no with no explanation as to why. Not even sure if a human ever looked at it, so no idea how these weird advertisers can get their ads running where I can't.
I bet they have a collection of images preflagged as owned IP and block everyone other than their biggest established clients from running those images. So for example if Random House tried to run your ad I bet it would have gone through with no problem. Even though they don't own your IP.
Though I bet if you tried to buy a 100k ad run it would have gone through too.
Was he book "woke"? Like legit question was anything about it diverse, or inclusive or like, good?
You can get pretty much anything in there as an ad if it ticks the conservative check boxes
@@strayiggytv I doubt it. Just my book cover with a short sci-fi description. Didn't come anywhere close to leaning left or right.
whats the name of your book?
@@jamievenables4711 "Beyond Conviction" by C.J. Watson. Amazon is likely the easiest place to look it up but it's available at other retailers if that's your jam.
It's genuinely impressive how dreadful that system is. Any other platform bends over backwards for advertisers but I guess twitter has musk man to float it forever now
I mean, he's only lost 44 billion dollars on it so far 🤷🏼♀️
Hopefully it makes him go broke, and he isn't able to profit off of it at all and is forced to keep it running.
TRIDE?? what on earth are you doing here this is like seeing a unicorn in the desert
@@drouseyman how dare he WATCH A VIDEO??????
@@ptyw. yeah i think you took it wrong, i like tride's content and it was just kinda cool to find him here
Wow, that customer service is laughably bad. In all my years of bad customer service, the worst I’ve gotten was long wait times or the support didn’t have a solution. I’ve never had them deny support like that. Pathetic. Maybe twitter should fix their system instead of blaming their customers
the system is working exactly as its designed to
They probably fired all the customer service staff 😭😭 that's why
This is the future Elon Musk wanted.
"Customer service? That costs money." --boy genius billionaire
@@josk8936no probably Elon actually did that
this guy is like if drew gooden was considerably more bisexual
yeah okay but does he ñ?
So just drew gooden
i can't compare him to this fake ass m8, he's unique
they even have the "actually someone watching the clip they're in on youtube" gag thing
Don't know Drew Gooden, but hell yes he do be bi
Maybe firing 70% of the staff wasn't good idea after all
Nah man, it's working fine! Just don't look into it.

ngl good solution, twitter sucks anyways lmao
I’ve done this already lol i never really used it in the first place
start using tumblr
@@MrDirtCow never!
@@reallyradrabbit W.
Somehow I get the feeling that most of the "impressions" that were received were robots anyways... I don't know what vile soul would see a post saying "HELP ME! HELP ME!" and ignore it!
i block every ad i see without even flinching, a lot do the same methinks
I don't think any human would believe the subject/maker of a Twitter ad reading "help me" is genuinely asking for help
Who the fuck wouldn't ignore something looking like a scam?
You guys have NO clue how many bots are on this platform. It’s insane, it’s way worse than any other platform I’ve seen
@@killerkonnat You think the ad looks like a scam? But he has such a friendly face!
Sending the HTML for how to make a button to cancel your subscription is genius.
That had me screaming 🤣
Twitter forcing money out of your bank to buy the checkmark is probably the most terrifying thing in the universe.
That's some impressive hyperbole lmfao
Another thing, twitter runs ads BEFORE an advertisement plays. It doesn't do this for any video except paid advertisements😭. Its so funny I see an ad and an unrelated ad plays before it 😭😭
Ads support telling Deemer to go to ads support is wild
Make sure to dispute that charge for Twitter Blue with your bank! It might be too late now, but if they took your money non-consensually, you may be able to get it back. If nothing else, it's another knock against Twitter that they might have to actually deal with if enough banks come knocking at their door...
@@Respectable_Username it reminds me that X wants to become a major payement processor and bank.
What could possibly go wrong.
It's refreshing in a way. Some platforms treat advertisers like royalty while their users are unhappy. Twitter doesn't satisfy anyone at all.
Truly egalitarian
This is also funny because iirc Disney admitted they don't see these social media sites as worth gauging audience opinions or interaction. It's just another place to put ads, like any TV channel or magazine. The moment you make doing a "set and forget" annoying is the moment you've lost all of these big companies. They are NOT interested in hoops from a platform they barely care about anyway.
Looking at Disney's stock decline due to silly business practices, they're not the most competent gauge to use
social media ads has a .1% transaction rate. Unless you're either making it cost next to nothing or your products have a very high margin you're not getting a lot from social media.
@@ferinzz It really depends. You need to market the right thing for the right people on the right platform. The only real way to gauge where you would have the highest interaction rate is by experimenting. Regardless, Twitter has always been the worst place to advertise (it had under .1% interaction rate for everything other than specific ragebait political advertisements) even before Felon's takeover and it's gotten worse.
Brands only _recently_ (like 4 years ago) found out the effectiveness of running and maintaining a social media account. Examples of this are McDonald's account and Opera GX.
What baffles me is saying advertisers "boycotted" twitter. They chose not to buy an advertising service because it sucks. I'm not currently "boycotting" tv by watching youtube.
Everytime you visit a website other than Twitter you're boycotting Musk's precious traffic, that's why he's taking you straight to the courthouse, so he can be laughed out by the judge and jury.
Elon is just appealing to the far-right culture of victimhood. By framing himself and his company as the victims of an evil marxist socialist leftist conspiracy (capitalist megacorporations won't buy his shitty services) he hopes to garner the sympathy of that demographic.
I implore you to look up the definition of boycott...the literal definition is not using a service due to not liking a policy change.
@@DangleeeenAnkle take your own advice and look up the definition lmao. it mentions the punitive nature of boycotting. choosing not to use a service because it's bad isn't inherently punitive.
@@DangleeeenAnkle "Withdrawal from social or commercial interaction or cooperation with a group, nation, person, etc., intended as a protest or punishment." - Oxford English dictionary.
7:47 Im crying at "gentleman. and them-tle men 😭😭😭😭"

“her pronouns are they/them!” energy
something about "pregnant hatsune miku" when it says right above it that the character is actually not hatsune miku is really funny
how people can be so ignorant towards pregnant characters
*Want to get rid of a twitter check mark? Why not run a twitter ad to ask for people to help you get rid of it?*
It's anti-advertisement for twitter (run on twitter) on two levels. And having that level of meta-humor in this video would have blown my mind.
I’m DESPERATE to meet that 1 person. What combination of interests led to them being the only human on the platform to be shown that.
You guys could legitimately sue for the fact they just straight-up bought twitter blue _in your name_ without consent
that sponsor fakeout got me I immediately started skipping
DUDE THERES AN EXTENSION THAT SKIPS SPONSORS AND SOMEBODY MARKED THAT BIT AS A SPONSORED SEGMENT!!!! SO FOR SOME VIEWERS THE ENTIRE INTRO IS JUST SKIPPED CAUSE SOMEONE SAW "Sludge Warehouse" AND THOUGHT IT WAS REAL
@@tachophobicat bit so good people can't see it
@@tachophobicatgood news: it's been fixed
@@tachophobicat I almost skipped it by reflex, my literal first thought was "I should mark this" for the extension, then I noticed it was just the intro for the ad related video, it was embarassing lol
good video btw
@@Chekkewakkaz Same here. Well done tacho!
there's so much to talk about. the fact the money you spend has ZERO correlation with how much the ad is pushed. the fact one of you basically got no promotion at all. 0 customer support. Ads denied for no reason. Unequal treatment of each person. TAKING MONEY FROM YOUR BANK ACCOUNT TO GIVE YOU PREMIUM
the fact that they told dazzx to go to ad support even though they were ad support made my fucking jaw drop, what made it drop even further was that they straight up scammed him out of 11 dollars
Support literally not even responding to you at all and then hitting you with a "tell us how we did" message is so infuriatingly common with support on like every website.
14:45 INCORRECT API KEY 🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥
error 401
This is funny, because Tumblr ads have been like this for YEARS. Welcome to the club, Twitter.
You completely forgot about Tumblr, their ads are actually utterly incomprehensible.

they really did fire the entire support team huh
The way that every single one of the groups of ads you ran got fucked up in increasingly whimsicle and outlandish ways was so funny
How did Elon fuck up this bad
By being a Boer Apartheid-beneficiary failson given infinite money and power by a system which has demonstrated its unworthiness to exist in the process.
He fired most of the staff, forces changes if something makes him look bad, and he is insecure enough i would be surprised if he didn't fire everyone who voiced a disagreement
@@Frommerman bro straight up waffled his way into a seething tantrum.
instead of going “I’ll make my own twitter with blackjack and hookers!” like a normal insane conservative, bruh went “yeah I’ll buy it, how hard could it be?”
@@midori_the_eldritch We know he fired anyone who publicly disagrees with him.
Early on he publicly insulted the technical team responsible for the Twitter app. A developer responded with a correction along with suggestions on how he could re-focus the company's attention to fixing problems instead of fancy new features. His response was to fire him via Tweet.
Thanks for making this! I was able to trick them to sending me the money for your advertisement! I will now be moving to cuba and going under the name "Eduardo Smith"
I'm constantly getting ai-generated Cheech and Chong weed gummy ads on twitter. It's maddening.
imo the worst part about twitter ads ias that in order to buy an ad you first have to be paying them a monthly subscription. no other ad service requires this. you can simply buy ads on their business platform. but twitter wants you to pay money for the privilege of giving them even _more_ money. it's stupid.
Twitter fucking ate my childhood photos. I had a lot of pictures there from middle school but stopped touching my account. It got taken over by a bot and everything on the account got locked. I've reached out to support countless times but only get the same automated message
Haven't laughed this much at a TH-cam video in months. This is actually fucking incredible
This is purely my own thought process, but Deemer might have a solid chance of getting the money back by asking the bank for a chargeback. No communication was given about an expected RECURRING charge, plus like what was explained, I'd also think, "Well if my ads aren't going through and I apparently have a policy violation, then I won't be charged."
Absolutely notify the FTC as well.
A perfect mix of incompetence and insanity.
It really puts in context what's actually happening vs what X says in their lawsuit against advertisers.
I feel that this video should be an exhibit. Not only would that be hilarious, but it would be informative as well.
12:40 the slow fade in reveal was peak comedy gold
I’ve never seen a support team pass the buck to themselves.
Insane.
I genuinely had no clue how fucking bad that support was going to be

13:51 Twitter straight up scamming 😂
i agree, paying for a single impression is the funniest thing ever.
this video was epic. I expected X ads to be crap, but not to this level.
I’ve been binging a lot of commentary videos while painting and I happened to stumble upon this video. I didn’t expect much, but my god I was wrong. The quality is great and the humor itself actually got a good laugh out of me! I looked over and was shocked that this video hasn’t blown up. I’ll take that as people are just missing out on this good video!
Keep going with your TH-cam game as this shit is awesome! 🙌
Twitter is like a dying mall with really cheap rent where you get a lot stranger stores.
"42 THOUSAND people saw this ad"
No, about 1K people saw the ad. The rest were bots.

This makes me so sad. Actual corporations had to deal with that? They probably spend millions on ads and to have this large of a range of issues really was a waste of money.
I hope if Musk actually does make it to court that this is used as evidence against him.

The last was AMAZING! What a trip
First of all, great video. This is just peak comedy.
Second of all, Deemur can go to arbitration. Probably not court due to arbitration agreements in Twitter's TOS, but he never agreed to pay for Twitter Blue.
Arbitration doesn't apply to something outside of the contract. They straight up charged him for something he didn't ask to purchase.
@@reverse_engineered It's a dispute with Twitter's services, and the clause would cover disputes with Twitter's services.
However, it looks like there isn't an arbitration clause in Twitter's terms.
