Answer 1

How do you even KNOW the name of, say, a VPN company, or a box of food delivered to your door, or an online therapy service? (I’m sure you can imagine the ones I’m talking about)

If it weren’t for their ads on youtube, it’s likely you wouldn’t even know they exist. But they are basically household names due these annoying ads; I bet you could tell me which is the most popular of each one.
