My favorite youtuber had 80% of his income coming from youtube before this change (he's set up a patreon in response) and he explained how it works. Youtube handles what ads are applied to which videos. All the youtuber has to do is decide if they want the ads at the beginning of the video, the end of the video, or in the middle some where if the video is extra long (or some combo of the 3). The youtuber doesn't have to speak to the company selling the add at all. So they don't have to change their messaging whatsoever to appease those companies. As long as they were getting good view numbers they were fine.
