YouTube continues to struggle to satisfy safety concerns of top advertisers. Google's video-sharing service had begun to win back advertisers who had removed their ads following earlier media reports regarding the prevalence of hate speech and violent videos on the site.

Cisco's CMO wrote a blog post declaring that the company wants to avoid a "brand-tarnishing experience" and that it was pulling all of its ads from YouTube.
The post was quietly deleted about 24 hours after it was published, following Business Insider's inquiries to YouTube about the matter.
Cisco had said in the unusual post that YouTube didn't meet its standards.
