Is possible that they do, but it’s so subtle that you don’t notice.
We’ve learned to identify and resist ads, so at this point, the most effective ads are the ones we don’t recognize.

On Youtube there is a checkbox to mark paid promotion in a video. There will at least be the common label for paid promotion. I don’t think hiding a paid promotion is worth the risk for big Youtube channels.

I was thinking of network television.
I do love those paid promotion tags. Lets me know to just keep scrolling.

Over here in the Netherlands TV channels are also required to show a notice about product placement. Of course I already know most channels to skip, but it is nice to have.

We couldn’t have those here in the States. There wouldn’t be any time left for the content.

Also could go the milk route where all brands pool funds to advertise for people to buy milk rather than specific brands.

My wife and I point it out like a drinking game when they show random close-ups of the brand badge on ovens. It’s kind of like they’re cutting to the oven for a reaction shot. They do it at least once a segment on every competition show I’ve watched.
Because they don’t want to do anything to make brands not buy the spots during the episode.
So if an episode has product placement for pasta sauce A then pasta sauce B, C, and D don’t want to buy commercial spots for usually the entire run of the show.
It’s not set in stone but having it be that way for all your shows makes it easy to sell big blocks of commercial spots spread across the network.

Say what you will, but those ads are the reason I’ll never forget Aaron Burr.

But movies are fine? Aka a guy with the last name of Bay?
Product placement are the commercials in movies.
Absolutely true, and yet wonehow we also ended up with commercial breaks in movies on streaming platforms on top of that.
