    In this case, however, we’re talking about streaming platforms, which are pretty much universal across state lines.

      Advertisements on streaming platforms are not universal across state lines though, the ads on them are localized to your locations.

      Adverts as a whole are very location based as locations differ in what types of ads are efficient in that area, what people want and like to see in CA vs what people want and like to see in MA for example are vastly different, and as such you will get different adverts.

      There is no incentive for them to just normalize all adverts on their platform, as that will take up more processing power and time and as such more money to do. As such it’s more likely they will just make a separate streaming pipeline that normalizes only ads in the CA pipeline and call it good.
