If you log into the app, you’ll see promoted content from celebrities and organizations. What do you think drives those promotions?

It’s either direct paid promotion, user data being sold to ad firms, or a combination.

I don’t use WhatsApp, I only have this article to go off of. You need to include more context with editorialized titles like this.
