As a rank outsider who hasn't been in the advertising business since the 80s, my off-the-top-of-my-head response is that I doubt that advertisers would see any real change in the response to their advertisements based on the random placement of content that some readers might find offensive.
I have no data on which to base my assertion—it's really just a gut feeling—but I believe that readers are smarter and more discerning than those who worry about this believe them to be.
I think the results of advertisements will still be determined by the quality of the ads and the numbers of eyeballs to which those ads are presented.
It will be interesting to see how this all shakes out in the real world.

Onward!
Yes. Perhaps the focus on ad content will be by the more reasoned viewer and the focus on adjacent content by those more prone to emotion.
Man, you have a great way with words!
You said more clearly in just 1.5 lines of text what I attempted but failed to say in about 10 lines! 😂
