Replying to myself.
Inherently there's a conflict in advertisement. The consumer expects entertaining and unbiased information and the advertiser expects the consumer to buy something.
One example how this conflict plays out: The youtuber Colin Furze tells people about Surfshark, a VPN solution. The way he does is funny (being in a bathtub with a shark mascot and his dark grey tie on), but I am not sure whether this is enlightening and useful information,
Because of this conflict I think there will always be some tension. One example is that one extension for Youtube marks these parts as advertisement and enables skipping it. And sometimes I feel the need to skip it. When thinking about it, it is because I don't want to listen to it and try to separate the information I am after from advertisement I am not willing to listen to it.
So I still think that the pull model is the best way. When I am ready I am willing to listen to what companies tell me.
It's like learning. If your mind is ready, learning is quick and easy.
