24. Dark Money has kept many a RW mouthpiece afloat and it may yet help support Twitter, If anything

Sun Nov 6, 2022, 12:38 PM

Nov 2022

usefully Twitterish survives the present and future shredding of parts, people, and work ethic.

The question I wonder about is just how much money was coming in from such advertising? As opposed to being derived by other fees, fiddling the books, or hidden support like the above mentioned Dark Money.
