Well, that didn't last long. 。
Nearly half of the American brands that made a show of pulling their ads from YouTube over placements on extremist videos in March have resumed advertising on the platform, according to tracking firm MediaRadar. 。
The firm says six of the thirteen of the major companies—General Motors, Johnson & Johnson, Nestle, AT&T, Verizon, and Walmart—ran YouTube ads at some point last month.。

"。
We do not think this will impact YouTube," MediaRadar CEO Todd Krizelman said in an email. "YouTube acted responsibly and swiftly, taking down the offensive material. The team at YouTube operates at the highest level." 。
The statement echoes what some analysts said at the time—that while Google's rift with advertisers made for bad headlines, it ultimately wouldn't have much impact on the company's bottom line. While Google makes the majority of its money from advertising, the bulk of it comes from the company's search ads. 。
The boycott also represented the latest instance of growing tensions between advertisers and the giant walled-garden platforms that dominate the web. 。
Advertisers are generally wary of the duopoly powers Google and Facebook hold over the digital ad market. That fear has led to an increasing willingness among major brands to speak out together in favor of their collective interest, whether that be less ad fraud or more measurement transparency. 。
None of the brands immediately responded to a request for comment.。
