Tricky Marketing

Native advertising has officially entered books 😭 Now the main character in a romance novel isn’t just crying near the window… she’s casually buying a $5.99 Hallmark Channel subscription to “relax after a long day.” And the weirdest part? It’s not even written like an ad. It’s blended into the story so naturally like: “she made tea… thought about her ex… and renewed her subscription.” Honestly this is probably the future of media. In a few years we won’t even notice anymore: — the detective orders Uber Eats — drives a Tesla — watches Netflix Premium — cleans his teeth with Colgate Total …and suddenly the entire novel becomes one giant sponsored lifestyle. At this point we’re slowly turning real life into product placement lore 💀
