New Restrictions for Masthead Advertising

Axios is revealing that there will be new limitations and restrictions on specific verticals.

As indicated by the report:

“YouTube will stop accepting advertisements for its masthead ad unit from specific verticals, including gambling, election and political ads, alcohol sales and prescription drugs, Axios has learned.”

The expressed justification confining these verticals from masthead advertisements is to improve the user experience.

These verticals are as of now confined and restricted in that they can be advertised, yet with limitations and restrictions. The masthead limitations set on these verticals represent a tightening of existing limitations.

Limitations and restrictions Not Entirely Unexpected

Search Marketing and PPC Expert Kenny Hyder (@kennyhyder) of Hyder Media expressed surprise that those verticals weren’t already prohibited.

He remarked,

“I am surprised it took this long, those are standard categories with policy restrictions. Especially considering that YouTube has a sizable child audience, I think it should have been done a long time ago.”

I agree with Hyder that these restrictions aren’t entirely surprising.

He added,

“It’s probably just that more and more advertisers are starting to utilize video creative and they needed to catch up. Those topics are already restricted heavily on all other Google platforms.”
