I fear the end result will be incredibly obnoxious product placement and/or "pop-up" ads during the actual program.

whatever gave you that idea?

And the product placement within shows will continue to escalate too. It's already embedded heavily in every reality show on TV. There's a thread here groaning about Letterman's whoring, and Conan has recently been singing the praises of chocolate Lucky Charms and it wouldn't surprise me a bit if that was bought and paid for.
