...and fast forward few years and you have the Black-Mirror episode "Fifteen Million Merits" happening world-wide.

How long do you think it will take for advertisers to realise that people will watch "stuff" even if you don't pay them as long as they have nothing better to do. Add to this the fact that major media outlets (movie productions, tv-channels) will jump at the chance to broadcast ads as entertainment.

A very dark future awaits us...
