The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Because they don't want to do anything to make brands not buy the spots during the episode.
So if an episode has product placement for pasta sauce A then pasta sauce B, C, and D don't want to buy commercial spots for usually the entire run of the show.
It's not set in stone but having it be that way for all your shows makes it easy to sell big blocks of commercial spots spread across the network.
Food Network is in the bag for Kitchen Aid products.
My wife and I point it out like a drinking game when they show random close-ups of the brand badge on ovens. It's kind of like they're cutting to the oven for a reaction shot. They do it at least once a segment on every competition show I've watched.
Is possible that they do, but it's so subtle that you don't notice.
We've learned to identify and resist ads, so at this point, the most effective ads are the ones we don't recognize.
Also could go the milk route where all brands pool funds to advertise for people to buy milk rather than specific brands.
Say what you will, but those ads are the reason I'll never forget Aaron Burr.
On Youtube there is a checkbox to mark paid promotion in a video. There will at least be the common label for paid promotion. I don't think hiding a paid promotion is worth the risk for big Youtube channels.
I was thinking of network television.
I do love those paid promotion tags. Lets me know to just keep scrolling.
Over here in the Netherlands TV channels are also required to show a notice about product placement. Of course I already know most channels to skip, but it is nice to have.
We couldn't have those here in the States. There wouldn't be any time left for the content.
Oh, my bad, thought it was only YouTube.
