Pretty good evidence meta and X are both using ads more to manipulate politics rather than sell anything anymore

Gosh, I wonder who could possibly be paying them to manipulate politics? I’m sure there is a lot more money there than in selling ads… ugh, dark.

Tech companies like Meta and X "sell" engagement - clicks, views, likes, etc. They want everyone splintered and pitted against each other, arguing and fighting, because their business is based on that. Whatever they want, politically, they accomplish the same way other industries have through time - by lobbying, political contributions, behind the scenes influence, straight up writing policy, etc. Which is no different than how the oil and gas companies get what they want, or real estate developers, etc.,etc. It's the corrosive rot at the core of our democracy and it's been there long before Meta, X, etc. showed up.

Not to mention how much they’ve “invested” in Trump’s Grift Coin

Some might argue manipulating politics IS selling something.
