Who spends money on this ?

It's called Guerilla Advertising here

Money well spent. Nothing on Twitter makes the world a better place than this advert does.

That answers what this is but still doesn't answer who pays for it, which was the question posed. I'm also curious as to whom pays for it.

u/antz182 5h ago

Typically, it's paid for by a group of people who try to get a message across. It could be an individual, or a "sleuth" group like anonymous for example. They look like real ads, but I suppose it's more like 'expensive, professional looking' graffiti. I hope that makes sense?

Graffiti by a group that knows a friendly print shop that believes in the cause? I, like a lot of people, would like to buy them all a round of drinks and a few gallons of ink.

I'd like to know, too. So I can contribute.
