ChatGPT's endless ad iterations, and YouTube's AliExpress affiliate push

ChatGPT ad units keep sliding toward native text: Marketplace Pulse founder Joe Kaziukėnas flagged the fourth iteration, now with no structured box and no "Sponsored" copy, and AdExchanger's read is that the amorphousness is the point, the same endless re-skinning Google and Bing never stop. Separately, AliExpress is expanding its YouTube affiliate program to the US, UK, Germany and Brazil, riding Alibaba's rise to the top of Ad Age's advertiser rankings at $30.2 billion.
