Reply to comment by CrankyStinkman in CGI-powered ads are coming to Prime Video and Peacock. Both companies demonstrated new ad formats for Virtual Product Placements (VPP), a post-production technique to insert a brand into a show or movie after it's been filmed. by cartoonzi

Modern ads are a symbol of late-stage capitalism so it's not necessarily wrong to say they are the bane of the modern world. Also, fucking chill.

technology being used to sell us more things in increasingly obscene ways is pretty interesting as a modern phenomena. at the time, i replied bc i thought the commenter who said it wasn't as important as climate change was being an asshole. but now i'm actually interested in what we're being sold by the powers that be and why.
