The advertising mail you are referring to is often placed into the mail stream in very large quantities. As long as the mailer has the appropriate paperwork and pays the proper postage the mail gets sent to the delivery unit to be delivered. In addition to the bulk mail postage they pay fees for bulk mail permits. Some of these mailers send millions of pieces of mail, some just send localized mailings. (Such as those you keep getting that invite you to a financial seminar at Palmer.) The postal employee isn't "paid off" to deliver that mail, but they are paid - it's part of their job.
