One of X’s latest ads included some critical tweets, but CEO Linda Yaccarino reposted the ad without them claiming they made a new ‘high-res version.’

Most of the tweets in those timelines appear to be from Sept. 4 and 5. Other posts caught in the scrolls include users complaining about the rising cost of rent, reactions to late-night host Bill Maher’son the ongoing writers and actors strike, and another reading “paul schrader is a swiftie, roman polanski is a pedophile, vincent gallo is a nazi. Accept it, at the end of the day I only care about the movies.” There was even one tweet from President Joe Biden stuck in there.

Yaccarino gave credit for the video to Ted Harrison, the head of production and six-year veteran at Twitter. It’s entirely possible that other people also worked on the video, and that editors simply screen-grabbed themselves scrolling down their “For You” feed with abandon and without first questioning what the algorithm might show them. Strangely, the obvious sexual memes or rampant, inescapable ads for Wendy’s or Amazon made the cut, but not the tweets critical of Twitter’s leadership.
