You most certainly have, most TV shows have product placement and while it used to be incredibly awkward, it is still going on today.

I know about product placement and certainly don't care for it. It isn't intrusive to me as I can just ignore it while getting the information I want. Additionally, it is clearly not the same.

I cannot ignore an individual talking about NordVPN for 3 minutes.

Those examples blend in a lot better than most YouTube sponsors. I don't mind subtle product placement. Those didn't even name the product out loud, they just showed it off a bit.
