@kevinroose @ParkerMolloy @ksings0201 Then why is it so hard to find evidence that any of this actually made a difference for Trump? Your story doesn't present any. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump spent $44 million on Facebook ads (and Clinton spent $28 million) in 2016. That's small in the context of a presidential campaign! By comparison, Trump received $2.6 *billion* worth of earned online media, and about $5b worth of earned media overall. https://t.co/Xtteo8cCRx — PolitiTweet.org

A decent hypothesis is that it's about as effective as traditional advertising per dollar spent. I don't know wtf "I thought you were a data guy" means but l I'd like to have seen one piece of evidence in that story, empirical or otherwise, that Trump's FB ads had a big impact. — PolitiTweet.org

@NateSilver538 so your point is that facebook ad spend is a waste? i thought you were a data guy
