Literally. It's batsh*t crazy. Don't worry though, the favorability of these partisan companies are at the lowest they've ever been. These companies will learn the hard way and it's gonna be so much fun to watch. It's just a matter of time before better alternatives come out and destroy these companies. As soon as there's true alternatives, people will switch.

Can't wait to spend my ad dollars on Parler! /ffs

Facebook is not a real business. it’s just manipulated money. That’s why their stock fell by 50% in like 24 hours. Parler is a social media app. Truth is a social media app. Not a leftist organization that makes money by data harvesting and letting companies incite violence by letting them pay to promote shit. You’re comparing apples to broccoli. People want genuine places of discussions, not advertising companies.

I can't believe I'm responding to this.

A company with almost 60k employees, printing billions in cash profit a quarter, isn't real?!

Somehow they tricked giant corporations and tons of small ad buyers into spending their money?

They took a hit because of no/negative in some metric user growth.

more important in my mind is Apple's changes makes what used to be best value possible direct response advertising less or even not profitable. I've moved ad spend out because of this and longer term it's the bigger issue imho.

And yes, I can track that it is in fact real money from real people in a greater amount than I spent on the ads.
