Who is going to go around approving 100 minor ads for each timeslot, with no targeting? This sounds like a recipe for making no money. I think the GP is just nostalgic for TV ads.

Magazines and newspapers and television and radio and billboards and (usually) podcasts are all existence proof that someone will go around approving 100 minor ads.

I tend to agree (but that doesn't mean that the 5 figure argument is a good one).
