browser extension idea: Brandomizer - it detects brand names in text on pages, and replaces it with random other similar brand names.

Absolutely. And it is already the case, look closely at movies, TV shows, podcasts...

Product placement has had its teeth in movies/TV for a quite a while now. In some aspects it does help movies add more to its budget.

There’s product placement, and then there is inserting a literal advertisement into the story itself and having the actors talk about it, e.g. watching a car commercial when they get in a car and discuss all of its features.
Probably the best form of advertising. Have people just insert your products in random stories.

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.
