The Post-Disney Star Wars movies are objectively less well received than the originals, but Alan Tudyk's K-2SO was probably the only well-liked character in Rogue One, whereas C-3PO was one of the most disliked characters in the original movie.
Unlike shows and movies, advertisements are something people avoid, not seek out. The most success an advertisement can have is for people to discuss it, for any reason. Creating annoying recurring characters or using new technology poorly works great for advertisers, and always has, but that has no bearing on what media people seek out.
