It appears that the extremes of political positions doesn't fit most folk, be that woke or MAGA. Other than the minority that go to those extremes, no one else wants to be there. So basically, those in such places are getting an echo chamber effect and being abandoned by mainstream.

I have never seen an ad on twitter that interested me.
The ones I see, I block.

I'm the same way. There's no ad I want to see. If a product is really good, your neighbor will tell you of it and s/he won't get paid to do so. If not, I know how to search and find what I'm looking for without being hounded. Those having to push ads, have something wrong with the product. Doesn't work well, costs too much, watered down too much, low quantity or quality, ect. It raises the price of the goods, as corporate overhead is included in the price. That's part of the reason store brands don't cost what national brands do...they don't normally advertise.

In addition, the unscrupulous will turn an ad into malware. I've been in places where those that didn't run ad blockers got malware, while I skated through unfazed. Its reached the point ads are a cancer on the internet. Thank you but no thank you.
