Heck, content is also advertisement in the sense that the show/film you're watching is an advertisement for all the related merchandise that will be on store shelves the same day as the media is published :) I wonder how many $millions Baby Yoda has brought in for Disney?

Those who create content are in the business of selling ads, not creating content. Content is a distribution medium for ads.

The publishers are also in the business of selling ads, not aiding creators.
