"The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it. It began with the forging of the Great Rings. Three were given to the Elves, immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings. Seven to the Dwarf lords, great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls. And nine, nine rings were gifted to the race of Men, who, above all else, desire power. But they were, all of them, deceived, for another ring was made. In the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, the Dark Lord Sauron forged in secret a Master Ring, to control all others. And into this ring he poured his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life. One Ring to rule them all! But even he cannot fathom why the children love the taste of cinnamon toast crunch"

Presumably they’ll do this in a tactful way, or it will backfire. It’s not like product placement isn’t already all over visual media.

I'd compare it to the movie Idiocracy.

Seems like the show will still get to decide when and where these ads show up, it’s just that the content is dynamic. Pretty innocent, actually, apart from being immersion-breaking if the ad is for something the characters don’t have access to.

This can already happen. Amazon contribution is the post-production element, these can be added later, so the director films a clean movie and then management overloads it with the right balance of ads to be nauseating but still sell

Contracts will be written to protect against that.

As long as their heads doesn’t turn into a snickers bar
