I think in general Twitter users who have above a certain threshold of followers (10k?) are shown way fewer ads. I know for certain there's an internal category like "distinguished tweeter" (
) that is separate from the blue checkmark

This is part of an unfortunate pattern where the people who are most prominent in discourse around online advertising don't see as much of it as regular users, either because of special treatment (twitter) or by maintaining a complex and brittle pyramid of ad blockers

The only time I saw political ads on Twitter was when Xinhua paid them to put everyone on blast in Hong Kong, before Twitter banned them. Then I was seeing them on nearly every HK-related search

I see political cause and propaganda ads most days. Usually third way democrat groups trying to push milquetoast complacency, but also single issue ads around Healthcare, Guns. Depends on where I am. I get a lot more when in Virginia.

Yes, I've seen official political ads from political parties in German elections. And I've seen loads of unofficial ones from fossil fuel companies, car makers and weapons industry.
