And do Geico and Home Depot get much possible value from your viewing their adverts?
I'm not wholly against you on this; the current media market setup is patently flawed in the Internet age and I'm becoming increasingly convinced that so's the broadcast content model for anything but inherently live content such as sports and _maybe_ rolling news. But, that content is paid for by advertisers trying to reach prospective customers. Overseas viewers are, almost without exception, not prospective customers of the advertisers so they're not interested in paying to talk to you.
- Swizec 16y agoI don't watch the adverts. Funny thing, though, is that 90% of the product placement happening in US shows are things I can buy right here at home. Or I can buy some sister product the same umbrella corporation produces. Furthermore, it is increasingly the case that product placement is happening for online products. I've especially noticed this with The Big Bang Theory (possibly because it's a geek show) Hell, just take this for example: The only reason I went to the Cheesecake Factory on my US visit last year was because I saw it mentioned on a tv show I pirated.
