It seems possible that ads will get even more insidious.
People you follow will post an image, and it could be edited to include a product placement.
People who make a post which incidentally mentions a product or organisation will see that their posts get slightly more viewers. This might be innocent at first but soon people will notice the pattern and start name dropping brands in posts intentionally for the view boost.
bigger influencers can pay money to get a list of companies that will drive more engagement when mentioned in a video, as the list is updated!
