I used to believe that TV channels were there to offer entertainment, news, education, and to fund this they had advertisements.
Today it is clear that these are businesses that are there to make profit, and the "content" is only there to spread the advertisements apart.
I was catching-up to the Coffeezilla's videos, and it looks like the scammers-be-scamming. And some people will try their 'luck' with anything fringe-y (forex, NFTs, crypto, AI, etc.)

A tv station's product is its audience, except for the "prestige" no-ads cable stations. Having worked in TV, i promise you they are very clear about this. The programming exists to attract the product.
