I still have only vague ideas what they even are and do and why they are special. Yeah, marketing, data brokering, spying, PR, social engineering, propaganda, but then how does that differ from Meta and Google.

This may an overly cynical take, though that seems hard to do these days, but I’ve always believed they are intentionally vague… even to their customers.
