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.
The Oreo placement in Lost In Space was oddly fitting. If I'm off to another planet, that's the kind of thing I'll pack.
