Premium+ ads in an 'ad-free' tier: Yacine posts X support's contradictory reply
yacineMTB · x · 2026-10-30
X developer Yacine (yacineMTB) shared a support chat showing he still got an Apple promoted ad despite paying for Premium+. Support admitted Premium+ only blocks 'most standard ads' and that occasional sponsored content is still allowed; when Yacine quoted X's own terms promising an 'ad-free experience' across timelines and replies and asked 'It literally says an ad free experience?', support just repeated the script. He called the contradiction 'idiotic'.
