Seems like the thing, for better and for worse, is that it’s relatively cheap to advertise and easy to target on FB - dunno about twitter. That kind of thing works for people like AOC just as it works for Russian bots or w/e.
As I noted in the Epstein thread, he’s also 1) a notorious camera hog 2) was involved in several public cases that went…questionably - he was a witness for OJ explaining why he was innocent, and did the same for Phil Spector.
I don’t care. I have been sick of Biden, Harris, Schiff and others filling up my Twitter with ads to raise money, all centered around impeachment.
I didn’t see any ads for any grassroots efforts.
So whatevs. And the issue is not being able to properly administer ads when 90% of them are lies. You can still use twitter to interact and build communities. I think it is massively overblown to say this has a bigger impact on smaller organizing.
