The only reason we ever got any TV show is because of TV commercials.
Does the ad money in this case go to the creators of the content displayed on these displays, or does it go to Amazon who also got money from selling these displays?
Amazon and producers might have a deal between them. That's probably public information if you're interested.
Is that relevant somehow?
Yes
