This is exactly why most marketers still flock to Facebook and Instagram. They know most of their market is there. It also helps that Facebook provides marketers with so much data. Our ads are better targeted and we see early on how much it would cost us,, allowing us to get better ROI for every dollar spent on ads.

Trust me. We tried doing ads on Twitter. On a $ by $ basis, Facebook is better.
