"Anything "sponsored" is 99.999% likely to be something I have absolutely zero interest in."
This is not quite true. I may indeed be interested in buying something "sponsored". It's just that after seeing your "sponsored" advert, I have absolutely zero interest in buying it from *you*. This applies even if I had previously intended to buy it from you.
