I despise Twitter's leadership as much as the rest, but increasing ads is not at all a "cause a problem" situation Twitter doesn't owe you ad-free usage of their platform. So no, not a scam/scummy behaviour, just bad value.
And you don't owe Twitter your patronage. So just move on from it.
Even if X wasn't trying to make a profit. They still have cost to cover.
I don't use it. Never have. Never saw any value in it.
I still have yet to understand Elon's strategy with it but it's his billions to waste.
It's actually not his billions. He borrowed billions to finance the purchase. There are talks of the banks stepping in to protect their investment.
