    Advertisers.

    If you were a bank or a energy company would you want your advert on potentially sexual content, and I use that in looses possible sense.

    It stems for an incident years ago where a “journalist” spam refreshed a ISIS video on YouTube until they saw a VW advert and they ran a massive story about VW financing ISIS via YouTube. I may get getting some details wrong about the story.

      I don’t get such “journalists” advertisers should worry more about who else is advertising on said platforms…

      Having double ads, one Bank ad and one literal scam crypto ad right behind each other doesn’t seem good, way more so than not caring about the content itself so much.
