    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.

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

      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.
