X seems to acknowledge that following Nazis and brands will lead to brand ads next to Nazi content if you scroll enough.
This is from the lawsuit:
"Media Matters executed this plot in multiple steps, as X’s internal investigations
have revealed. First, Media Matters accessed accounts that had been active for at least 30 days,
bypassing X’s ad filter for new users. Media Matters then exclusively followed a small subset of
users consisting entirely of accounts in one of two categories: those known to produce extreme,
fringe content, and accounts owned by X’s big-name advertisers. The end result was a feed
precision-designed by Media Matters for a single purpose: to produce side-by-side ad/content
placements that it could screenshot in an effort to alienate advertisers."
