I'm reminded of a scene from the 2011 #BlackMirror episode "Fifteen Million Merits", where you have to pay to skip #ads on the giant, always-on screen in your quarters. If you can't afford the fee and close your eyes or look away, the screen detects that and plays a really unpleasant noise until you watch the ad again.

@funcrunch When there are no jobs left and almost everyone lives on some flavor of UBI, that will be our reality.
