So this article claims the problem with Twitter is that advertisers don't bring in enough money because of hate speech in Twitter. This is just absurd, any sources on that claim? Why would advertisers care of the content? They are scared people would associate the company to the hate tweets?

It happens all the time right now. How many times have we've seen press releases that explain the company's position of distancing itself from some stupid thing on the Internet that stupid people wrongfully attribute to the company in some stupid way? The recent bowl of Skittles analogy is a prime example. Everyone knows it had nothing to do with Skittles the company, yet they still felt the need to release a statement because people are stupid. Because if they didn't release a statement then some idiot would come along and claim the company supported the analogy.
