You didn't address what I said and how Media Matters crafted those screenshots.

X placed the ads next to hate speech. It matters to the advertiser that they did that in some circumstance. They already knew that it doesn't do it in every circumstance (assuming they went to the bother of looking at their own ad at least once). Which is what Media Matters showed them.

What makes you not think I understand how the internet/web works.

No it doesn't. It doesn't matter to anyone.

They pulled the ads, and most of them have gone silent on x, and instead have moved their social media teams to threads.

So it appears to have mattered to then to me. What makes you think it didn't matter?
