Promotional media content

Ads is the plural of ad, short for advertisement.

These are promotional messages designed to sell products, services, or ideas: The Super Bowl ads cost millions to produce.

Online ads appear as banners, pop-ups, or sponsored content.

I can't watch anything without sitting through ads first. (All-caps ADS is a technical acronym.)
