Out of curiosity, what drove the decision to stay anonymous? A project like this feels like a massive street-cred builder in the data viz community.

Thank you very much! Google publishes a bundle of its political ad records (https://adstransparency.google.com/), but without video links. So I had a script browse each advertiser's public page in Google's Ads Transparency Center and pick up the YouTube video behind each ad.
As for the anonymity, no real reason behind it, just thought it would be a really nice personal project.
