It's just a speculation, but it's probably a bullshit excuse to ban whoever they want honestly. Advertisers can definitely back out from smaller websites, but from Facebook, Google, YouTube, Twitch? I doubt it. They're supposed to throw away all that reach because of what, because their ads appeared on a couple of videos that were either sexually suggestive or because someone said the N-word? I run adblock, but if I'm not mistaken there are plenty of ads that are sexually suggestive themselves. On top of that I believe YouTube are about to play ads on all videos, if they aren't already doing that (by the way, they promised that they won't do that, but it was years ago, so no one remembers that). It's just that they'll ban you for whatever arbitrary reason or you just won't get any money if you're lucky.
