That kind of old-school vision of advertising is a vision from the 80s, it's been a long time that advertising isn't about information anymore.
The big spenders are in the game for brand awareness (there's not even a product being shown sometimes) and then there's a parallel world of which I would call scams which went on top of it (less than half of the Youtube ads I see look legal)
If you remove those two, I'm not sure how long the advertising industry would survive.
