How about not ignoring the “ad” for the “company” that created it? This commercial was created by security professionals who run a security podcast, not by some company. Give them a little credit for calling everyone out, and for the creativity.
In any case, glad you liked the video. We filmed it for those reasone that you have indicated. We hope people take notice, that sometimes proper disclosure methods should not make you ignore the problem.

I am fine with that
I just felt the ad was somewhat incongruent with the tone of rest of the video. If it was upto me I would probably have toned it down a notch or two. Otherwise nice work!
