However, since Musk took over some of Twitter's biggest advertisers have pulled out. When he starts charging for blue ticks and debates the user base will probably shrink, further diminishing the value of the advertising space.
I guess the goal is to make Twitter more profitable on paper through hotshotting before turning it public, cashing in, and rapidly cashing out. I hope it's a miserable failure.

and those ads making money. I'm 100% prepared to believe that all the marketers know it has negligible value but it's their job to sell advertising (as a strategy) to their bosses as much as it is to sell adverts.

They're not spending on ads. They're selling the ads. Google is the largest ad broker in the world.
