Truth Social CEO Devin Nunes is warning about partisan ad blacklisting, claiming that leftist ad boycotts are draining revenue from Trump’s social media platform.
The former congressman also indicated that he was discussing the matter with his old colleagues in Washington DC, which has long been a method used by leftists to undermine conservative media by undermining their finances. NewsGuard and the Global Disinformation Index (GDI) make it their business to warn advertisers about “risky” websites to buy advertising, which are almost always conservative.
Nunes said that the platform is getting “pennies on the dollar” thanks to ad boycott campaigns by leftist ideologues. Nunes left his seat in Congress to head up the Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG). He called for congressional action during a podcast with guest investigative reporter, John Solomon of Just the News.
On Rumble, Nunes explained that Truth Social built its ad center using Rumble, which runs independently from other big tech infrastructures. In other words, Rumble doesn’t have to worry about Amazon sabotaging them by them off as a customer from their AW services. They don’t have to worry about Paypal screwing them because they conservatives do videos where they can speak freely. rumble created its own ads system so they don’t have to rely on anyone else’s. They are they are truly running a parallel economy.
Truth Social is not the only major social network facing ad boycotts. Twitter is experiencing ad revenue drought as a result of important sponsors leaving the network in response to new owner Elon Musk’s wish to reinstate significant conservative accounts, including former President Donald Trump’s. According to recent sources, Twitter ad revenue fell by 70% in December as a result of the ongoing boycotts.
Commercial boycotts have also been used to boost control on Facebook and YouTube. The media advocated a Facebook boycott in 2020, expressing concerns that the network was not going far enough in combating “misinformation.”
