If on desktop just use Minimal Twitter and hide the "For you" tab

Block twitter sponsored posts
I also wanted this feature but unfortunately, no. The closest thing is that you can use the Typefully theme for Twitter as an extension - there is an option to hide sponsored tweets. See the website: https://typefully.com/minimal-twitter

PSA to those using the "Minimal Theme for Twitter" browser extension, from their latest update release notes: "Typefully has acquired Minimal Twitter"
From what I can see in their source code, the final release before the acquisition was 4.3.0.

GPT4 is 8 x 220B params = 1.7T params
Because Twitter is trending towards bankruptcy.
a) It is valued at about a 1/4 of what it was purchased at.
b) Twitter Blue has generated an irrelevant amount of revenue and churn is increasing.
c) Roadmap looks poor. Video is a terrible direction where only Google, Amazon, TikTok etc have been able to make the numbers work and that's because it is subsidised through other revenue sources. Payments is DOA given Twitter's inability to comply with existing regulations let alone new ones.
d) Regulatory and legal risk increases by the day. Lawsuits continue to grow and EU/FTC are hovering around as Twitter remains not in compliance with previous agreements.
e) Brand safety continues to be a huge challenge that isn't solvable without effectively going back to what Twitter was previously.

every day it gets worse somehow
Also, pervert for profit? Uh, not sure were you are getting that idea, since every indication points to the fact that it would take almost half the platforms active userbase to recover everything that's been lost revenue wise, and according to this recent article dating back to March 28th and this tracker as listed in in the site that was recently updated last week, the amount of accounts are currently gold is 400k(definitely give(shout out to my database design teacher, you hated teaching it but it allowed me to just put it in SQL and parse that data way faster then)) which comes out to 3.2 mill per month, which is nowhere near enough the amount he could had been getting if he had just left the company well enough alone after buying it.

Twitter power users begin campaign to 'Block the Blue' paid checkmarks
Travis Brown has a repo[0] listing all known Blue subscribers, regularly updated. I believe there's some libraries with reverse-engineered support for Twitter's private API that you should be able to feed the data into. (I've been reusing the keys for an old project; I believe if you didn't already register one, then official access to the blocking API endpoint costs $42,000/month.)

Someone seems to be doing calculations about how many Twitter Blue subscribers it currently have.
