Pack it up boyz, goin' back to books now. The internet is a fuck and everything will be an ad. uBlock Origin in all of its zeal and strength may not be enough to protect us from the endless and ceaseless onslaught that will be the internet to come.
2035 - E-readers force you to watch an unskippable ad for 30 seconds between chapters. All physical books are banned.
Thus we return to the days of rote memorization and oral storytellers
“Thanks to nordvpn for sponsoring this story, go to nordvpn and use promo code ‘you will never escape’ for 3% off”
This retelling of the Odyssey is brought to you by HIMS.
Arguably better than even books. It forces people to be social and have good memory.
They wouldn't be banned, but instead they'd be like $100 and sold as these premium, artisanally-produced things to the few who can afford them.
Hear me out... what if everything you say and do, whether you consent to it or not, put on The Cloud and then regurgitated back to you as a quirky "AI" podcast?
The cloud was a mistake. I still think truly dystopian that the new Windows OS has you save things to the "OneDrive" by default rather than your actual physical harddrive. That type of shit is the realest consent manufacturing, structure superstructure, 1984, power is whatever that has the means to deem something normal-ass shit ever.
Honestly, that's where we're headed. I don't know if I'm going to be interested in scrolling through websites plastered by all the ads that are going to poke through the Manifest V3 ad controls.
