Yes. This could be a killer youtube short/tiktok etc, or better a NPR short. But without all those words those banner adds would look lonely.

Anything that someone complains could have been summed up with just two bullet points shouldn't be a youtube or tiktok video. What visual element would have helped here? Do you really need to see the switch? Leave video for things where eyeballs are required. Instructional videos that could have been communicated clearly over text are obnoxious.
A tiktok / short would be better, because yes you could show the effect, show the button, and then show the studios.

Watch the Insider Business shorts, they are great example for exactly this style of stuff.

Goodness! Another person out there on the wild wild web and not wearing their ublock origin suit. How do you even get through a day? I saw no ads, just continuous interview text with a short RHS sidebar at the top.

If your browser/platform won't let you do this, well, you know what to do.

I usually don't block adds on my work computer. As I'm not really assaulted by retail adds on the regular work sites.
Then just don't read interviews. You know what they are. Avoid them if you hate them.
