> Demanding to provide data that is clearly not publicly available
You claimed to know such data. It's clear you haven't been debating in good faith from the point you made that claim.
> as it is beyond clear that this figure was above zero.
No it's not. I provided evidence that he may in fact drive away advertisers.
> So blocking him was against the commercial interests of the platform.
That's not how it works. Blocking someone who provides a small amount of advertising revenue but who drives away other users would be in the best interest of the platform. Blocking someone who the moderators believe will incite violence is in the best commercial interests of the platform.
> the success (or lack of it) of other platforms, like Truth social, is hardly relevant here
It's entirely relevant because Trump invested in that platform and spends most of his time there. If they can't make a profit it puts your claim about his ability to attract advertisers in doubt.
> Now, you may claim victory in this internet discussion, and celebrate it like your other imaginary victories.
I never claimed victory. I simply asked you to back up your claims and you got yourself into a panic over that and threatened to quit. Ok. Bye.

- tchaffee 4y agoSure: > Trump provided a lot of engagement and popularity to the platform, so banning him was igealogy-driven and was very much against their business interests. You either have those engagement numbers or you don't. Which is it? You either know how much advertising revenue he generated -or- how much he drove away. Or you don't. You either have evidence that banning him was against their business interests or you are just guessing. I don't think you have those numbers. You suggested Elon Musk might have those numbers. So it's pretty clear you yourself don't have the internal business numbers that would be used to make those decisions. Lacking sources to back up your claims, then you were arguing in bad faith. But I'm open minded. Feel free to back up that claim with actual evidence.
- Andrew_nenakhov 4y agoSo can't provide a link, and with your lie exposed, went into to panic mode, trying to pass your (false) assumptions as a claim I never made, ok.
- tchaffee 4y agoI provided a quote of the claim you made up based on guesses you made and that you have no evidence for. There is nothing wrong with guessing, just admit it next time when someone asks for your source of data. Cute copying me with "panic mode". I appreciate the imitation. Didn't you resign a few comments ago? Or was that another false claim?
