I've been thinking about this because it's true from my observation, and I wonder what's the main reason:
- Is it because they are "not evil enough" compared to FB in tracking people?
- Is it because they can't track people in the same way (FB pixel is _everywhere_ on the net, Twitter's code is also widespread but probably less?)
- Is it because publisher tools are not as good as FB's? (in FB from what I know you can target various demographics really well with campaigns, based on criteria such as location, age, interests, approximated wealth etc)
- shp0ngle 5y agoFacebook tracks you almost obsessively all over the web, and on its own website (with many features designed specifically to get more info about you). Twitter does neither. Which is great for the users, but probably horrible for the advertisers.
- elorant 5y agoTwitter is not set up to know things about people in the first place. Your profile doesn't contain any personal information. Most of the interaction on Twitter is between users, while on FB it can be both users and companies with either ads or corporate posts making it into the feed. You click a post from a clothing company, Facebook will show you a relevant ad a week later. On Twitter on the other hand seems like companies never really bother advertising.
