Then they went with just having the radio performers do the ad in the middle of the show, and we're back to that again with youtubers sticking ad reads in the middle of their videos...

I remember when that used to be considered "tacky." In fact a whole lot of things so-called "influencers" do today are things that probably would've gotten them labeled as "tacky" and "sell-outs" back in the 90s. Somehow, over the course of the decades, these things have become acceptable and expected.

I cringe when a Youtuber shills for companies, especially since it was revealed that "Honey" (which I used to see a lot of creators promote) was screwing over the very people who advertised for it.
