I'm assuming it's mostly because this ban was already reversed 10 years ago (an actual decade ago) because of the value these third-party clients brought to the platforms. Twitter may not have made money on targeted advertising to these users, but they consumed content, amplified, tweeted and probably drove(/became) traffic to "native" marketing by Twitter's advertisers. (Like: tweets by @Target or whatever)
- eecc 4y agoYeah, that’s a reasonable argument, thanks. OTOH 10 years is a long time, also business strategies and needs change. Just chalking it off to “Elmo does stupid” is cheap IMHO
