X? Partially. But TikTok dominates.

Yet X is on the boycott list and TikTok is not.


You seem to be missing the point. Ads popped-up next to Hitler pictures (and other objectionable content, per the advertiser). 'X' didn't fix it, so the advertisers pulled their ads. I'm sure if the same thing was happening on TikTok, they'd pull them there, also. Further, some may not wish to be associated with a Musk venture given his reportedly-racist comments (I don't pay attention to most of that noise, so am not sure all that he said...just excerpts...and I don't care...advertisers are free to place ads -or not- anywhere they like).

Advertisers are concerned about losing eyeballs. I have my own reasons for not being on FB, or "X", or TikTok, or any of that. Advertisers would rather I be on those platforms, because it's another pair of eyeballs. Anything that would drive eyeballs away, or taint their image for their target demographic, is contrary to the interests of the advertisers. Lose enough eyeballs, or get associated with -for example- photos of Hitler, and they can lose market share. So they pull their ads.

It's just business to them. Corporations are sociopathic. Very few have morals. They just don't want their customers to go away.
