At a guess, he'll try to spin it. Like "I'm being treated more unfairly than any leader in the history of the entire world

Advertisers won't give a shit what the reasoning is.

Unless someone actually does anything at all to stop it

The advertisers will. Again, this policy exists for a reason.

If have worked worked in the industry and know this to be true, then I will bow to your actual experience. Otherwise, I am reserving judgement until I see it happen. Remember: Trump was impeached, twice, and he may still be elected again - and there are pictures of him with very underage girls at Epstein's parties and personal 1st-party accounts from the girls claiming that he had sex with them (at 14 years of age iirc), yet still many pastors proclaim from the pulpit that "he is God's man" - which is a very different matter than that the other side is worse (also, by that same line of logical reasoning, why wouldn't Hillary have been "God's woman" if she had managed to get elected? Or Obama after he actually was?).

I'm just saying that I no longer am willing to put my faith and trust in things that "must" happen, to actually happen. Especially if there is some kind of claim for it to be a temporary measure while they restore order. Maybe some sets of advertisers will be swapped out for another, or maybe all of NSFW will be removed from Reddit, I don't know what to expect except that whatever it is, spez will expect to profit from it, with like a 99.99% chance of not admitting any fault whatsoever.

I don't understand what any of that has to do with this conversation...

It's very simple: people WILL call out companies for the locations of their advertisements and these companies DO respond to having their brands tarnished in that way. This is not speculation, this is history.

One more time: that is why this policy exists.
