After Mr. Musk acquired Twitter, he released Twitter Blue as a way to improve profitability. Twitter Blue has benefits such as obtaining a 'verified badge' displayed with a check mark next to the account name and reducing the amount of advertisements displayed on the timeline.

Some users have criticized that even Twitter Blue can not completely erase advertisements on Twitter. Regarding the ads displayed on Twitter, Mr. Mask said, ``Ads are displayed frequently on Twitter and the size is too large,'' and admitted that Twitter's advertising experience was too bad. 'We will take steps to address both in the coming weeks,' it said, promising to improve both the frequency and size of its ads.

It wasn't long after Musk publicly announced the ban on third-party client apps that Twitter admitted to having a bad advertising experience. Twitter's third-party client app had advantages such as no ads.
