Looks like based on a misguided assumption. Format might have significant impacts on reach, but decision factor is trust on the reviewer. Video format itself does not guarantee a decent CTR/CVR. It's true that those ads company find this space lucrative, but they're smart enough to acknowledge this complexity.
