A bit outside of HN's typical domain, but I wonder the treatment that top ad buyers get from Google.

Like if you are the VP of advertising for Procter & Gamble, and your nephews gmail account gets banned, are these guys treated so specially that they can get a white glove unban just like that? I wouldn't be surprised for Googles golden geese if they can

I wonder about that. Part of me thinks maybe they might not bother, because what are they gonna do, just not advertise? The entire online ad market is basically Google and Meta now. You'd get fired if you pulled all your ads because Google didn't do you a favor.

But on the other hand, I think they might definitely do that kind of thing as more of an old-boys-network type thing.

This. They will call up a high rank and tell them about it and then it would trickle down. It would not happen through regular support channels.
