Vizio got ate by Walmart so these ads could become even more widespread

Not only does Walmart own Vizio but also other streaming services besides the Vizio video streaming and own gas stations that play ad videos

The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits. (Cory Doctorow, 2022, extracted from Wikitionary) source
