Lots of people get advice on what to buy. Imagine if company’s are able to manipulate buyitforlife, HomeKit, personalfinance, babybumps, travel subreddits etc.

Probably the best form of advertising. Have people just insert your products in random stories.

“I remember back when I was a kid and mom would make a cake with Betty Crocker icing”

I’m automatically suspect of any post mentioning products. Probably happens on hacker news too. And instagram. And everywhere else. We have ad blockers, but now the ads will move into the content itself.
