Product placement
Plato's Closet ACTS - it is a store where clothes are sold, and the video implies it has a policy on what clothes are considered 'in style'. Removing it would change the subject of the video, as the video is a critique of this store's policies. It appears as the subject of the critique.
On-screen text
Plato's closet got a lot of fuckin nerve telling us our clothes are out of style when this is what's on their racks
