    Most ads are targeted these days. You tell which user profiles to run ads to.

    Also appearing next to controversial content is brand damage for these companies. They try to avoid it as much as possible.

      With how the Overton window is shifting far to the right, I’m not sure companies really care anymore if their content is placed next to hateful shit. As long as it generates money it is acceptable.
