> just look at how quickly advertisers abandoned YouTube following the wall street journal reporting.

There's not a chart anywhere I can find that shows advertisers reducing their spending on youtube. I "articles" (potentially paid for advertisments) claiming that was happening; but as far as I'm aware, there's no evidence that it made a material difference.

Unfortunately, the data wasn't public during the controversy; so it's not really clear besides anecdotal virtue signaling by companies.

There’s lots of evidence around from people reporting their YouTube revenue falling 80%+. At the time it was colloquially known as the “adpocalypse” so you can find lots of evidence associated with that search term.
