ELI5 why do mobile games that look... underdeveloped... have so many ads and hundreds of thousands of downloads?

You know all those annoying ads on YouTube for mobile games. Yeah those. How do these games actually survive?

You sort of answered your own question, as long as your ad campaign pushes your game as far and wide as possible, it doesn't matter if your game is shit because the majority of people will play it for like 30 minutes to an hour and by that point you've made a bunch of ad revenue off them by spamming ads.
