The actual reason for advertisers fleeing Twitter was because they kept seeing their ads next to actual Nazis posting on Twitter. The reason they were seeing that was because Twitter fired most people weeding hate speech from Twitter.

Well and the ADL calling major advertisers pre-emptively to tell them to pull their ad spend.

You'd think, though, in these days of AI there would be a way for someone to post what they like but be segregated from adverts.

Ooh no, it's the ADL! Seriously, if hate speech wasn't resurgent on Xitter, do you think the ADL would have had any sway?
Yes. I think they would broaden the definition of hate speech until they found some, and then ask for donations to make the problem go away.
