    “Not a single authentic user on X saw IBM’s, Comcast’s, or Oracle’s ads next to the content in Media Matters’ article. Only 2 users saw Apple’s ad next to the content, at least one of which was Media Matters.”

    It doesn’t matter how many people saw it, it matters that it was done.

      So, why are they showing the ads to the bots then? To click and impression farm revenue from the corporations paying for it? If you can determine what an authentic user is, why are you showing ads to inauthentic users for any other reason than fraud?
