Otherwise, I can’t explain why they don’t take it more seriously to stand up to bots. Even more so with meta and their eagerness to put in more accounts pretending to be human to “cover the friend market”.
Besides, what’s to stop them? They are the ones who control the information and surely they know perfectly well which accounts are authentic and which are bots. Maybe even several of those accounts are controlled directly by them and they use them to inflate the statistics to charge advertisers even more.
Or maybe I’m jut tripping…
They’re definitely lying about the reach of their ads, this already came up a couple of times during elections. Though in the case of elections, it’s more about the precision of their targeting - apparently, a lot of the time they weren’t even able to precisely target the population of specific election districts. Or maybe just unwilling, who knows.
I’m also pretty sure that a lot of advertising clients are not happy that they’re sharing ad space with porn ads and scam ads.
I love how these parasites think that their slop is above porn and gambling 🤡
At least porn is honest in what its providing.
still haven’t figured out we’re all whores in a capitalist society
