Wish the overly aggressive product placement were skippable, e.g. in Reacher:

I am down for hyper on-brand, clearly denoted, clever/humorous sponsored segments. StyroPyro was able to advertise a desk this way. So well integrated, honest, and relevant, I didn’t skip even though I don’t need a chemical-resistant adjustable standing desk.

If I remember right styropyro was just doing product placement with flexi-spot. After Herman Miller bought Fully and tripled their prices, I had to switch desk vendors at work and I had already started using these guys. They're good cheap AF, Chinese standing desks. LTT was shilling for them about 6 months ago. I honestly don't care who makes the desk I'm just sick and effing tired of having to spend $800-$1200 a desk for generic Alibaba parts.
