The digital segregationists know that ad adjacency is arbitrary.
Smart advertisers and consumers know that whether you are directly adjacent to a piece of toxic content or 3 or 9 posts away it doesn't matter.
What matters is if the person seeing the ad wants to buy that thing. The brand is not responsible for the behavior of its customers. That's a ridiculous proposition.
No one is ethically superior for being a higher number of posts away from toxic content. It will never all be banned, nor should it because lawful ugly speech is lawful ugly speech and those people should be able to buy stuff to live too.
