I'm honestly surprised Spotify and YouTube haven't come down on "sponsored" content - they're the platform, if you want to advertise on the platform, you're supposed to go through them, and they distribute some of it back to the content providers. (Love it or hate it, that is the business model).

YouTube could do it. They have a monopoly pretty much.
