The “Russians” you mentioned bought what, $100,000 worth of supposedly pro Trump ads in 2016? It’s all bullshit.
Absolutely correct. Facebook has avoided telling the rest of the story, but it’s likely that the Russian click-entrepreneurs probably made a minimum of three times their investment back. Someone last year was estimating that some of the more popular ‘click’ chances might have brought back one dollar for each penny invested in BLM ads or pro-Trump ads. It was a brilliant strategy on these Russians to figure out the profit set-up for Facebook, and rig it in their favor.
