It’s free advertising, you don’t even have to pay for the cost of the content being hosted.
Advertising for a fruit??
Got milk?
that wasnt for a single milk company tho
Last year's superbowl had a bunch of advertisements for avocados, so it's not that surprising.
Advertising is important for brand recognition. That's why companies like Coke still spend a fuck ton of money on it. You want your brand to be the first thing people think of when they think of that industry.
They absolutely do pay people to do all of it. Those sites don't just magically provide content.
