Oh yes they pull that sort of shit all the time, don't feel bad though, there are subtle layers to this that they disguise from the public on purpose and it's all designed to pretty much brainwash you while you've got the normie brain. This is why I end up liking youtubers etc. who are 100% upfront about what their product placement and ads are.
Nothing wrong with that as long as they're not trying to lie to me and pretend they haven't gotten a sponsorship. The worse ones are when youtubers get big and they bullshit you that they totally got this "free airline upgrade by coincidence WOW" no come on. They got a tourism board sponsoring them or something and they made the experience as posh and fancy that others would have to pay thousands to experience.
I think one of the reasons I can't take radio and television is not only the frequent bombardment of subliminal messaging with ads but also the ideological shit they pull on you because when they quote stuff it's inevitably wrong and from some kind of bullshit study they're parroting as a way to get you to believe something. I can't stand it.
It's spreading to the internet because the corporates are trying to brainwash the millennial and zoomer generation and that's also why they're trying to sanitise the fuck out of content on normie net because they want to re-establish the control they had over legacy media. Bit of a rant I know, but don't underestimate how insidious this all is. I could also rant for hours about how gaming is set up now as a psychological manipulation tool for people with personal addiction problems.
