Initially, because of the economic uncertainty caused by coronavirus, many advertisers chose to adopt a more conservative advertising strategy, adjusting their ad targeting to maintain relationships with existing customers, moving from video to more traditional direct ads, such as search and social display ads, in an attempt to directly facilitate user conversion purchases.
