  Such videos are themselves ads, presented as if they're not.

    you say this like all cartoons growing up weren't giant ads. Almost every cartoon of my generation was created by a toy company. He-Man, GI Joe, Transformers, etc.

      That's probably because I didn't watch cartoons growing up! But yes, I am aware of that connection.

    Did you know that is how a lot of cartoons started? I recommend you watch https://www.netflix.com/mx-en/title/80224167 https://www.netflix.com/mx-en/title/80224167 . (The Power of GraySkull documentary). Cartoons like TMNT, Thundercats, Silverhawks, etc where done for the single purpose of selling toys.
