Mark Cuban made a great point:

> If advertisers were getting results from their X ads, or possibly If you posted data that showed that ads on this platform were effective and produced results, you would be in an entirely different position.

> If your ads produce results, businesses would tell you they understand how difficult it is to completely eliminate hate on the platform.

> If they don't produce results, there is no reason for a big company to fuck around and find out that their ads showed up next to a hateful post.

> I can't tell you how many times I get Cheech ,(or is it Chong?) ads for CBD gummies. Shit I would never buy. ..

> On other platforms ads sometimes are eerily relevant to my interests.

> That never occurs on this platform

When asked if he ever advertised on X:

> Multiple of my portfolio companies have. And I always ask them to check. Without exception, all have said it doesn't give the same returns as other platforms
