Lately on YouTube I see almost nonstop ads from companies like Verizon offering (at least what sound like) very good deals, like offering 1000 dollars off a new phone if you switch, and deals that generally seem better than past deals I see ads for. Aside from that it just generally seems like they REALLY wanna get it out there, almost desperate. I don’t believe it like mind controls people or whatever but I do think it’s almost suspicious how much they push it

The mobile business is *extremely* competitive and there is very few distinguishers between their services. They all offer almost identical services.
This is just being used as a marketing tool to help distinguish them from the competitors. In reality, there is almost no difference between the carriers as whole, but they want to make you think there is or they are better.
In the US:
Verizon tends to market at “new technology” as their distinguisher
T-Mobile tends to market price and/or “coolness”, and a little bit on tech
AT&T markets at people who like r/milanavayntrub/
Lastly, for deals for switching, getting a new customer is insanely hard, but can be very very profitable in long term. Its worth it often for companies to pay a ton of money to get a new subscriber, hoping they become a long term subscriber, where the big money is
