I think it's a mistake to equate ad spend with ad effectiveness.

Russia only needs to sow discord, they don't need to follow you through the entire election season like Hillary does. A few targeted ads here and there are all that's needed to compound their other efforts across the web.

Signals and noise are coming from every direction at much greater orders of magnitude during an election cycle. If her campaign was so weak that a little "discord" killed it then she already lost on her own.
