The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Because it's not about woke.

So you want your brand advertised on a platform know for child exploitation, such as Instagram? Or how about the platform that's taught the world over how to steal Kia cars?

Other platforms have their own issues - but Mark Zuckerberg and Liang Rubo aren't personally posting favorable comments about anti-semitic contents. At least they have policies and rules that are efforts to throw Hateful Content (and the users that regularly promote it) off their sites.

Hmm. Again, where are all the From The River To The Sea rally people posting their stuff?

Look at it this way - the advertisers that are leaving now are among the least sensitive to issues of 'wokeness' in their social media platform buys, because these are the ones that stayed with Musk for more than a year.

Huh? Apple is one of the #wokest companies out there.

I'll agree with one point: since the media is clearly pumping the narrative that X is now a total cesspool of hatred and these companies are sensitive to that, it's natural they'd react in some way. However, by leaving huffily like this they're playing to the woke virtue signaling crowd in an effort to score brownie points.
