It fled that platform in 2023 after it was featured next to Nazi content.

X is one of the most popular social media sites. It made no sense to pull advertisement in the first place, but even Apple makes business mistakes sometimes.

Watch out licking so much Nazi boot.

Well it wasn’t smart on their part to return because this one of the many reasons why I’m boycotting them after being an Apple fangirl.

Twitter made it one of the most popular social medias, it's been all downhill from X.
It makes sense to pull advertisement you don't want showing up next to nazi content. But now that nazi content is all the rage they won't see as much backlash as when companies pretended to care. They stopped for 2 years without issue.

I don't think Apple (and other companies) has returned because they want to advertise there, I think all major tech companies have been notified of what they must do to 'kiss the ring'. This is like Disney removing the context warnings before some of their older movies. There's no way that the Disney company decided all of a sudden to remove them without external pressure from the government. These companies know that they can't fight this administration because they own all 3 branches of the government. The days when Microsoft could outspend the government in court is done, because now the president can just write an executive order. Congress doesn't even need to pass laws, but if one is needed you know they'll do whatever the administration says. And sure, companies can sue, but somehow they'll always end up with a trump-friendly judge.
Anyway, all that to say that I do believe that corporations are evil and suck, but I don't think this was actually a marketing decision.
