Ocasio-Cortez spent at least $4.2 million on Facebook ads in 2019-2020. Almost all these ads simply solicit further donations in a kind of fundraising ouroboros. Her criticism of Facebook could carry more moral weight (at no cost to her!) if she didn't give them so much money.https://twitter.com/JohnHendel/status/1349369497145241605 …

I'm not talking about a boycott, just not spending $4M on an utterly safe seat in a circular bonfire. At least keep some of the money you raise if you're going to go down this route! Or if you burn the money, use it on ads that talk about you or your policy, not just solicit more

Again, we can have a highly theoretical debate on what it means to run as a high-profile woman in a corrupt and unfair world, and the tradeoffs that requires. It's Twitter, after all! Or we could look at the actual ads that campaign run and the money spent vs. money raised
