The impact of the $100,000 spent by the Russian Internet Research Agency on Facebook ads was questioned, with Brad Parscale calling it "malarkey" to suggest such a small amount could influence a national election. He noted that legitimate organizations spent hundreds of millions on the platform during the same period. Parscale suggested Facebook is in a "catch-22" where admitting the ads were ineffective would undermine the perceived power of their advertising platform.

Financial analyst Andrew Horowitz suggests that Research In Motion (RIM) stock gains may be artificially inflated by corporate layoffs. When employees are fired, they lose their company-issued BlackBerrys but often purchase new ones to maintain their mobile habits, while the original corporate service contracts remain active. This creates a temporary surge in hardware sales and subscriber numbers.

British retailer Tesco launched a chain of small grocery stores called Fresh and Easy in Southern California, based on flawed market research. The stores utilize a "fresh and easy" formula that ignores American consumer preferences for large-scale shopping and specific store layouts. Critics predict the venture will fail because it misjudges the competitive landscape of the United States grocery market.
