> Trump provided a lot of engagement and popularity to the platform, so banning him was igealogy-driven and was very much against their business interests.
You either have those engagement numbers or you don't. Which is it?
You either know how much advertising revenue he generated -or- how much he drove away. Or you don't.
You either have evidence that banning him was against their business interests or you are just guessing. I don't think you have those numbers. You suggested Elon Musk might have those numbers. So it's pretty clear you yourself don't have the internal business numbers that would be used to make those decisions.
Lacking sources to back up your claims, then you were arguing in bad faith. But I'm open minded. Feel free to back up that claim with actual evidence.
