I was about to downvote you until I read your comment after watching the video.

This video leads me to believe that there will soon be a time when popular people will just pick some pre-made advertisements. No need to go and film it since that has already been done without that person. We'll then accept deep fakes as a valid marketing strategy (or whatever purpose may come up), until some protests require them to be watermarked.

It will never be watermarked. Photoshop edits also are not labeled as such.
In Slovakia we've already had a deepfake ad of a well-known news anchor.

The ad starts as a news segment where she says that it turns out the covid vaccines don't work and then pivots to awareness campaign about hoaxes and misinformation.
