A very large chunk of what people consume these days is effectively already ads. Every Youtuber holding a product into the camera is an ad. And people want to watch that. They want to know what new products are out there. It just has to presented appropriately.

I doubt so - Sponsorblock exists. I guess some don't mind it because it supports the creators they like directly.
