@marketing Trust is definitely the core issue here. If AI platforms overload conversations with intrusive ads, they risk damaging the very experience users come for. That’s why formats like native advertising — where ads match the content environment instead of interrupting it — may become more relevant. Platforms like MGID have been building around this “non-disruptive” model for years. In AI environments, subtle and contextual monetization will likely win over aggressive ad placements.
