You could cut the "2023" from that, and it'd be no less true.

I mean sure, this year's ad-centric nature was particularly obvious, but come the fuck on, journalists/readers/whatever: Did you ever have any doubt, seriously, ANY doubt, that this is 100% ad-space? And if yes, how?! What part of this did you watch in what year that wasn't just ad-space for publishers?
