Sam Oh, the Vice President of Marketing at Ahrefs, recently shed light on this capability. Oh disclosed that a video posted by Ahrefs was flagged by YouTube for a rather unexpected reason. The video in question displayed a snippet from a book, and within that snippet was the name "Donald Trump.".

Following this, YouTube flagged the video under its "Election advertising in the United States" clause. Ahrefs was subsequently prompted to "Review and fix ads that violate ads policy to update the status of your campaign."

I'm not any kind of economist or anything, but one theory I read is that the collapse of the Silicon Valley Bank scared investors and venture capitalists into wanting a ROI ASAP.

That makes sense for some, but Facebook started it's wrist cutting before that, and YouTube has been testing out how far they can push the line for a long time, but the last few years it seems like all of them are working double time to drive all their users away.
