I told you wrong. It says "promoted by 'promoter', until you click on it, then that goes away. I'm sure they will do exactly as you say. Millions of Trumptards will post Trump's political ads, that I won't see, as I have them blocked. This is a twitter ad: It’s a beautiful morning for our newest anchor. #TheMorningShow Watch new episodes every Friday on the @AppleTV app with an Apple TV+ subscription: https://t.co/oP4MTrSVXX pic.twitter.com/lkhRBsiIra — The Morning Show (@TheMorningShow) November 4, 2019

>> If the ad looks like just a regular post other than the "sponsored" designation, why would one not just post it for free and be spared the cost and the "sponsored" baggage. That's the point of "followers" -- they're free. But they are also people whose support you already have. The way Trump won in 2016 was by targeting those who were NOT for him, but were persuadable. Your own software can access the following functionality: developer.twitter.com This can be combined with publicly collected data (e.g., data from Facebook, from Instagram, from Google searches, etc.) to provide insight into who might be willing to change their position. Your ads can then target those individuals and their "hot buttons". Facebook is more flexible in its selection criteria, I believe (I've done facebook ads but not twitter). Every political ad on Twitter now shows how much its purchaser has spent on the ad to date if you click the link at the bottom.
