Why the hell are they even there? There are countless places to spend ad money!
I completely agree with you. An interesting aspect to this is that when it was still Twitter, Apple was one of the biggest marketers on the site. This was because all of the other online ad venders were direct competitors (google with phones, and Facebook with virtual reality). So having a place that isn't google/meta to pump ad dollars makes sense to some businesses, or at least it did before the percentage of Nazi content rose so much.
