Is it how humans think? Or is it just media trying to create drama out of nothing?

Most of the people who get exposed to extremist content without looking for it will surely not even register the ads around that content. An IBM ad cannot possibly be as noticeable as that.

And, of course, the real problem is the presence of said content, not it's placement among ads. Manufactured drama like the one we're looking at here only detracts us from taking about what is really important.

LITERALLY marketing is all about creating associations and perception. That is basically marketing's entire purpose for existing. So to say "well its only media that creates an association because of XXXXXX" sure! Because that is marketing. Thus marketing in a nazi filled content site makes your marketing associate you witrh nazis!

Every movie of a dystopian society shows some ads in bloody places, you don't think "man, I wonder if that company really just meant to sell workout equipment, and in no way related to the purge happening below the billboard in that area all the time". Again, its just not how we work.

There's a vast difference between saying "I live in a neighborhood that has a nazi in it" and "i actively go and spend my money at a bar that is known for making it easier for nazis to hang out there and harass customers"
