I’m kind of surprised that you’re surprised at so much product placement is creeping in. At 38 I bet you can still remember a time you went to the movies and didn’t have to watch one commercial before the movie started. Sure there were previews but no commercials. Now I don’t know how many you have to watch before the main movie comes on. Same with YouTube. When it first started you didn’t have to watch any commercials. Just like anything marketing is all about what can the companies get in your face. Vloggers would be stupid not to exploit that and get their piece of the pie.
