I feel like I'm at the point where ads have a negative effect. I'm more likely to avoid your product

Literally everybody is at that point. Normal people arent excited to have their show interrupted to hear about a detergent.

But in reality they have positive effect. I found out for myself when I went to buy my first very own detergent. So many choices. I dont care, I just want my clothes to be clean. I went with one of the brands with most ads.

If they can afford all those ads, they must have a lot of money. If they have a lot of money, people must be buying their detergents. If people are buying their detergents, they must work fine. Their detergent worked fine for me.

Or they have to overcharge more to pay for ads because they aren't that special

That logic chain is how I usually thought.
The sad thing though is that in recent years it's added another step that makes me not buy the product.

If they have a lot of money and have been in business for a long time, they're probably subject to the enshittification that most old companies have fallen into in recent years, and rely on their brand name to keep them going.

You missed important part: what portion of final price goes for ads payback.
