So lets be clear, I want to be sure I'm understanding their complaint correctly. Media Matters creates 3 accounts and follows racist and bigoted ad content. It views this content multiple times, effectively pushing it up in relevance to the algorithm.

This is what they're upset about. ....Instead of the nazi content itself?

It's not like this is the first time someone has put together a list of hate speech that big name brands have ads next to. They are pulling away this time specifically because of what Elon said.

No no no. They purposely gamed the algorithm to make Twitter look racist and anti-semitic that's why Elon filed a thermonuclear lawsuit this morning

They made three accounts, followed a bunch of Nazis on each one, then went to the timeline of each account (which was full of said nazi accounts' updates) and recorded what ads were served with each refresh. They didn't manipulate anything.

the point of the complaint by media matters is that despite what elon claims, your ads will be served with nazi content. corporations really dont like when their product appears alongside objectionable content and they showed that it will, which will cause advertisers to suspend advertising, especially when the amphetamine addicted owner discovers the jewish question and tweets through it.

Media matters changed the outcome by measuring it

Furthermore, if you want cases of covid to go down, you just stop measuring them. If you stop measuring Nazi ads, there will be no proof of Nazi ads. bingbong so simple

Thank you for the clarification. That was the piece I wasn't completely following. I realized the issue they have is the content got spotted and called out rather than any disapproval of the content itself. Which hurts my brain.

he is terminal poster brained but instead of just moving on to being some catagory of political rear end in a top hat like alot of terminal cases, he still wants to pretend he is king memelord of Encyclopedia dramatica and then swallows all the awful poo poo nazis feed him because he is contrarian moron mixed with desperate for uncritical validation. I see alot of myself in him a bit when i was late teens early 20s and i was dumb and lonely and thought being an edgy gently caress was cool. i never went this route but gently caress.

He likes using the word "thermonuclear" a lot, especially to threaten advertisers. Waaay back during the very first time advertisers started pulling their ads, he threatened to "thermonuclear name and shame" every company that did in order to embarrass them into keeping the ad money flowing.
