Amid all this, Yaccarino has been trying to bring advertisers back to the platform by claiming it’s safe for business. She has also claimed that X (formerly known as Twitter) has been “demonstrating its absolute commitment to combating antisemitism on the platform” and that “antisemitism is evil and X (formerly known as Twitter) will always work to fight it on our platform.”
But corporate advertisements have been appearing directly on pro-Hitler, Holocaust denial, white nationalist, pro-violence, and neo-Nazi accounts. The reality is that instead of fighting antisemitism, Yaccarino’s company has been financially rewarding it.
For instance, X (formerly known as Twitter) has been paying a pro-Hitler and verified account that carries the screen name “bambkb” and the name “Kevin - WE THE PEOPLE - DAD.” The account has more than 99,000 followers and has more than 88,000 posts. In a screenshot and commentary, the account said that it had earned $3,000.31 this year (The account was complaining about a decline in revenue.)

Bambkb is a virulent antisemite who has written posts that, among other things, praise Hitler for fighting “the same people that are trying to control the world today”; claim that “we have been deceived about a LOT” regarding Hitler; and claim that Hitler wanted peace and “had no choice but the go to WAR!!”
Well, most anticommunists would prefer that their enemies give up without a fight, so I suppose that that’s technically true.
