What does "bow to" mean? Does it mean you've never, ever gone to a movie or watched a TV show that was financed in part by product placement? (Why do I find that a bit hard to believe?)
Or does it mean you refuse to have a sponsor tell you what to put in your creative work? As the photo you so cannily applied suggests, product placement need not necessarily ruin a creative work, any more than the not-so-subtle display of dozens of Smirnoff bottles ruined
Casino Royale.
Obviously, as a creator, it would be your choice. But as we've been discussing methods of making sure a creator gets paid, in an atmosphere where direct payment from consumers may not be feasible, you can always suggest other methods...
