DAE feel like EVERYTHING on social media is an advertisement in some way due to very subtle marketing techniques

Every time i see a tiktok and the tiktoker mentions that they used a product (they dont even have to say the brand name) and the top comment is asking what the product is and the OP responds in a comment with the exact product i assume it was planned by that company's marketing team, and that was an extremely subtle advertisement that also is way more organic and believable

Or if i see a blue haired, obviously gay, or "liberal" looking person talking about how they are trump supporters i assume that it was planted by the republican party. (And also vice versa)

Or like how everyone was commenting about vexbolts on it seemed like every tiktok, i assumed that was paid for and they got realistic bots to comment until it caught on.

Or if theres a controversy between 2 famous people, like lets say justin baldoni and blake lively, and there are tiktoks claiming they read the entire case and this or that is what actually happened and taking ones side, its always at the back of my mind that they paid the tiktoker to say those things.

I have a million other examples and im not saying my opinions about any of these things but i cant help but think EVERYTHING is fake nowadays. Especially any videos with a product in it.
