Ads appearing on nitter

[Petemir]

Somehow, I started getting ads on my nitter instance, but I see them also on nitter.net,

i.e. URL

They don't appear everywhere [0], but they do appear when viewing single tweets. Any reasoning why this started happening? Potential solutions?

[0] I'd rather be unspecific to make Twitter engineers lurking here actually work a bit

Thanks for the input, but it's not the case.

I just saw one slip through today. Looks like they're disguising them as normal tweets, but they do have other elements that one should be able to filter out in the parser?

"promotedMetadata"

$ cat 1905275472889405631.json | jq -r \
'.data.threaded_conversation_with_injections_v2.instructions[0].entries[2].content.items[0].item.itemContent | keys'

[
  "__typename",
  "itemType",
  "promotedMetadata",
  "tweetDisplayType",
  "tweet_results"
]

Here's the json output from TweetDetail with that "promoted content."

filter out in the parser

.data.threaded_conversation_with_injections_v2.instructions[0].entries[2].content.items[0].item.itemContent.tweet_results.result.legacy.conversation_id_str != '1905275472889405631'

I was thinking more along the lines of filtering if that "promotedMetadata" key exists? It only shows up in promoted tweets.

ETA: Here is the uBlock Origin filter to remove ads
nitter.net##.thread-last.timeline-item:not(:has(.replying-to))

Good idea, thanks for looking into it @cmj
