Have you ever scrolled through Instagram and started to feel like you were missing out on life? Or maybe you started to doubt yourself, or even hate your body? Social media can be a difficult place to navigate, especially considering that most people only post about the positive in their lives.

Yes, commercials are important to keep shows alive as they are an important source of funding. But with more and more people using ad blockers and streaming services, commercials are just not as reliable as they once were. The alternative? Product placement. How not to do a product placement As much as product placements don't interrupt a show, they can certainly be distracting.
