That was clear to me when Musk unbanned the Neo-Nazis and there was many articles about it like: https://techcrunch.com/2022/12/02/elon-musk-nazis-kanye-twitter-andrew-anglin/?guccounter=1

So, seeing as even I could predict that 6 months ago, why the fuck are these companies still running ads there? Do they want this?

If Musk ban neo nazis and taliban in current Twitter, then it would run out of users

Except the Taliban was allowed on Twitter long before Musk took it over.

Apparently they have no issues with nazis, but the moment you mention a minor slur in a youtube video you will be demonetized into oblivion, and don’t even try showing some skin or they will call the FBI.

They demonetize the slightest thing because that way they don’t need to pay anyone for the money they make…

I guess ads are more effective on easily brainwashed people, so it’s good for business. they want business not feel-good morals…

As always, it’s fine as long as no one points it out.
