Biden launches digital ad blitz after nasty debate

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s campaign is rolling out a digital ad onslaught Wednesday morning after Tuesday night’s acrimonious debate with President Trump, which was preceded by Trump's own advertising blitz.

The former vice president’s ad buy included purchasing space on YouTube’s homepage — one of the most expensive digital battlegrounds and one that Trump took over on Tuesday. The Biden campaign also bought ad space on the homepages of AOL, Yahoo!, CNN, Fox News, Pandora, Univision, Reddit, The Daily Mail, CBS Sports and more.

The Biden campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment regarding how much money went into the digital ad buy, which was first reported by Politico.

The ads attack Trump over his debate performance and hype up what the campaign says is Biden’s ability to tackle pressing issues, including the coronavirus pandemic and propping up a flagging economy.

By clicking on their ads not only does it cost them money, it screws with their data mining.

You can only open said ad once every 24hrs or the computer algorithms catch on.

Think tictok and Tulsa

That's how those ads work; every click removes a set amount until the account is done, or they refill. So, just a heads-up. Look for the ads elsewhere, not on sites where they pay for placement. On the other hand, feel free to click every tRump ad you see, though you may give your computer "the crud."
