   There are lots of articles about how many billions have been spent on political advertising, but I haven't seen any articles with a breakdown of who is *receiving* those billions. Which corporations stand to profit most from this dynamic?

   (This is not the part where you tell me your guesses and theories. I have mine already, thanks.)

     @jwz Oop, sorry about that. I missed the *not* in that last sentence. I'll delete my reply.

     @jwz I'd have to assume Meta, X, various cable news channels, and robo calling and SMS marketing companies probably receive the majority of it since that's where much of the political ads are showing up. Maybe the venues where rallies are held as well.
