Remind me of how immersive advertising worked in neopets?

  Corporate sponsors all over the place. Sponsored/themed games in particular. It basically existed for brands to market to kids.

    That came later. Didn't have those earlier on. Unless Extreme Potato Counter was sponsored by Big Potato...

      Earlier on was only a couple of years if I remember correctly (obviously my time messing with Neopets is a little fuzzy hardly a core memory!)especially once it was acquired by Viacom. Did a cursory search so take all this with a grain of salt, but looking at the timeline of when ads are introduced, then the acquisition, peak users, etc. I’d say most people were playing in a pretty serious corporate sandbox for most of its most relevant years.
