The article says it is "an ad agency".

Makes me curious: why are they calling themselves "Social Media"?

[–] JakenVeina@lemm.ee 23 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'd wager their focus is advertising ON social media.

Hmmmm... seems they don't want to work on X-twitter anymore :-)

[–] AbyssalChord@feddit.de 5 points 2 years ago

Probably because Social Media is their ad platform.

X used to be an ad agency before Musk scared off all their advertisers and turned it into a subscription bullshit delivery service

Doesn't all corpo social media make their money through ads? I think I remember Zuccerbot responding "we sell advertising" when the American politicians asked him what Facebook actually does.
