I've been trying an admittedly hopeless experiment on twitter: blocking every crypto BS airdrop/nft/etc ad it shows me.

I know, there's an inexhaustible supply of them. Fool's errand.

But maybe I'm getting some results! It just started showing me this Oreo cookie ad!

(tho I'm mostly keto and have never had a sweet tooth, so good luck with that. Def funny to see the algo just throwing random darts)

So I made sure to click on the ad and even watch the video; I want to encourage it to think that these are the best ads to show me.

Innocuous-enough Oreos are so much better than ads for incredibly dumb nft shit.

I’ve been trying the same, yes endless..

Do yall use the mute words feature?

No, I’ll try. Not too familiar with twitter tools 🤙

No. For a lot of the annoying controversies you'll still get people I want to hear (e.g. nostr:npub1ej493cmun8y9h3082spg5uvt63jgtewneve526g7e2urca2afrxqm3ndrm ) providing useful context, clarifications, etc. So a blanket keyword mute feels like too blunt a tool.

Though have been thinking about muting some of the bigger geopolitical stuff that doesn't have any ties to tech/bitcoin.

Probably a good idea with the elections coming up

This sounds like botnet whackamole, but at least it works. Godspeed 🫡

💡👍This sounds like it could be my plan too!! Oreos : Forward!!
