My guess is that what he means is that companies that would be advertising on Vox are less able to do so because the money that would normally be going to advertisting and marketing are instead going to pay for diesel and warehouse storage and whatever, maybe?

You could very easily be right. But I guess reductum ad absurdum-wise, that can be used as an excuse pretty much at any time. Bond markets down? Lay 'em off. Fed raised the prime lending rate? Lay 'em off. Sunspots? Definitely lay 'em off (especially those pesky tech geeks).

I guess it just seems like a weirdly phrased excuse as oddly enough, vox.com is advertising for a business development associate director: https://boards.greenhouse.io/voxmedia/jobs/4260493?gh_jid=4260493
Anyway...
Haha true enough. Full disclosure, I did also just accept a job with Vox but I haven't started yet
