Title should be “Toy commercials are being replaced by product placement and YouTube influencers”. Can’t stand clickbait titles and articles like this that keep stringing you along, expecting to get your answer, paragraph after paragraph, only to save the disappointing answer for the last little bit.
- foxbarrington 7y agoI completely agree. So much fluff to wade through to see if there actually was some new nefarious method I didn't know about.
- dntbnmpls 7y agoI figured as much. Considering it is TheAtlantic and it being on HN and throw in the title and I figured it's another targeted hitpiece on social media. > Title should be “Toy commercials are being replaced by product placement and YouTube influencers”. Nefarious product placement has existed for decades in movies, tv shows and magazines like The Atlantic. "Influencers" have peddled products forever. We used to call them celebrities ( aka influencers approved by the elites ). So what is the fuss really about?
- dang 7y agoGood suggestion! Adopted above. The best way to complain about a title on HN is to suggest a better one. You did! No one has any idea how rare this is.
