...I realize that's the point of them being animated, but when I am trying to read an article or watch a Youtube video, my eyes are instictively drawn to the dancing "shadow people", supposedly overjoyed because of "low mortgage rates in my area"! I have never, nor will I ever, click on one of those ads, nor would I ever even consider purchasing any of their products! Old-fashioned, non-moving banner ads, however, I can have respect for; I can glance at them once, without anger, and if it's for a normal product that I might purchase (by bricks or clicks), then I'll consider it. But animated ads distract me so much that all I'll do is block them.

By that rationale, no company that has any business dealings with any government agency could be considered "commercial", including Burger King.

Damn. One of the Great Three (Heinlein, Asimov, Clarke).
