That doesn't seem like a particularly stark finding. Eight ads submitted by the same organization getting approved just tells us that they probably had a high reputation. Now, eight ads submitted by a mix of different actors all getting approved would make for a much stronger case, what we got here was somebody running the exact same experiment eight times and pretending to be shocked that it gave the same result each time.
