You're taking the "fuck you" out of context, blackmail is the keyword here.

Just because he misuses the word blackmail, that doesn’t mean it’s the keyword.
He's saying he'd rather let the company go bust rather than give into blackmail.

Which seems nuts to me. I mean they are not blackmailing as far as I can see, just not wanting to be associated with him endorsing anti semitic stuff and pizzagate conspiracies.

Yes, not paying someone to show pictures of your product is blackmail.

We're not talking about the blackmail bit because it's utter nonsense.
