There's a reason various late night comedy show segments on it went viral. Running different anchors from different outlets reading the same script without any indication it's not their own one after the other is hilarious because it's surprising. Every single one saying the same thing, word for word. Segments discussing products with no indication it's paid. Fake products intentionally put through this system by comedians to point out how absurd it is.
I think if you polled a random sample of people you would find most don't actually know this. Or didn't, and don't think it's okay now that they do.
This very forum was started by someone who published an article on it in 2005.
