XB Nov 2023 3:47pm, 3 Nov 2023 16,854 posts	Quote Pin XB Every time I dismiss an ad on Xwitter i get the message "Thanks. X will use this to make your timeline better." If that was the case how come they constantly splatter the most inappropriate ads on my timeline. Items and services which I barely understand, have never had any dealings in, and am highly unlikely to be interested in. Some examples of what I'm offered - This book describes the ways historical data can be explored to construct cultural heritage knowledge. - This holiday, introduce the family note-taker to a small workflow revolution. - A Must-Have for Feline Fanatics And Couples - So many gambling ads.

GordonG Nov 2023 9:38am, 10 Nov 2023 10,103 posts	Quote Pin GordonG [Someone's probably posted about this on here before, probably even me, but...] how every single time you try to contact Virgin Media online, the reply is "Our wait times are very high at the moment due to an unprecedented demand...". I mean literally: every single time I contact them, and there's been plenty of those over the years. If it happens every day (that's the reply I got yesterday, too, before Virgin Media abandoned the call!!!) then it's not unprecedented, just bad management.
