X users are complaining about an influx of low-quality ads promoting crypto scams and AI "undressing" apps.
The decline in reputable advertisers on X has made the platform more reliant on less reputable ad buyers.
The exodus of advertisers, partially due to Elon Musk's controversial behavior, has left X with a growing revenue gap.

Three or four years at this point, so technically not including some of the ridiculous inflation, but the cost of living in that area has barely increased. Rent is $900 on average there right now, so if you're pulling in 25 an hour you're making plenty to live alone relatively comfortably
