  For a modern and very transparent version of this, look for the term "coffee badging", which seems to have been invented sometime in mid-2023. Based on quotes in the (very similar) first articles mentioning the term, I think it came from a PR effort by Owl Labs, makers of an expensive camera/mic setup for Zoom.

  Such a quaint read in the age of aggressive influencer-ing

  This did not age well! :)
