Reply to comment by [deleted] in Twitter is running ads next to tweets from Holocaust deniers by CoupleClothing

I think you missed the entire point of the article. White supremacists that Musk reinstated that paid for the blue check are supposed to get a cut of ad revenue for ads under their posts. It has nothing to do with "The algorithm" putting ads next to posts because of a keyword mixup; the ads were placed by design.

I was talking in a general sense e.g. YouTube's adpocalypse.

If that's what Twitter is doing then I'm not surprised, they are a sinking ship anyways.

A social platform that makes a good faith effort to remove harmful content but inevitably gets a few through the cracks shouldn't be punished if an ad for an unrelated product shows up next to it.
