The days of people actually associating advertisers with the content, unless it is actually sponsored (and not just advert roll), are long gone. They're not worried about extremist content.
At best, presuming that it's not malicious mass social manipulation (which it almost certainly is), they're worried about the audience. And worried isn't the right word, but rather they know that people who are invested in "extremist" content aren't interested in ads, and they're largely useless in selling a product through that method. It's a waste of money to pay for advertising on a platform that has people who are never going to buy your product because they're jaded. And that goes for any isle of "extremism", which is also the wrong word.
But it's all pointless because it's almost with 99.9% certainty that the reason is for mass social manipulation.
