Downsides to using Google Ads account for YouTube

One approach is to maintain separate accounts if you prefer to avoid excessive cross-referencing between the two. Linking them could lead to some limitations, as YouTube ad accounts are restricted to targeting by keywords and interest categories, which might restrict their reach. 

By keeping the accounts unlinked, you gain greater control over ad placement. For instance, you can specify that an ad should only appear on videos related to cars but not motorbikes, avoiding potential overlap between audiences interested in different topics, such as movies or sports teams.
