Bogarde, I have to admit that I'm always drawn to your posts because they are generally very interesting. I rarely agree with your angle, but in this case, I am in wholehearted agreement.

If you listen to this you will hear how a whole swag of operators have recruited users of twitter/whatsapp/snapchat who have built up substantial followings to "subversively" promote products & services.
The viewers as a rule don't realise this is happening because it's done in a hidden way, such as buried in a joke.
It's for this reason I think that Gruen
http://www.abc.net.au/tv/programs/gruen/ should be compulsory viewing, especially in schools.
Quote:We're still the show that analyses what most other shows are there to sell: advertising. But we're also the show that knows you can't click on a link without surrendering all your personal data to a corporation trying to sell you shampoo. Gruen will run an X-Ray over advertising, spin, branding, positioning and image control, wherever they are found.
The selling of ideas and products will always amuse, bewilder, and irrationally annoys us but now it's more sophisticated, targeted and occasionally downright creepy. Mostly it just understands you better, so we're here to provide you with the tools to understand it.
I'm sure the corporate sponsors of commercial TV would never let this program be shown on a commercial network.
