I can't say I've noticed advertisements on Printables, other than obviously having Prusa content on the main page. I run pihole so maybe that's blocking stuff. And I'm signed-in as a user in order to post my models, so don't get any nags about sign-up. I actually feel that Printables has been pretty open and approachable for non-Prusa users.
Will be interesting to see how Thingiverse evolves, looks like they have been making updates recently after years of neglect. With other vendors starting to push their own 3d model sites I think there is a risk the whole space could become fragmented, but on the other had having a just handful of dominant sites increases the risk of enshitification.
