    For those who might want to watch it, the episode is called "Common People", and it's a pretty brutal one.

    Black Mirror already did that episode: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_People_(Black_Mirror).

    Also "Common People," first episode in season 7 of Black Mirror. One word: ads [1]

    Just watched the Black Mirror "Common People" episode which is on this subject.

    It's one of the creepiest because of just how close to the present day it is.

    I disagree. Introducing ads just to then effectively increasing the price of the no-ads plan is scummy, rent-seeking behavior.

    Ironically the Black Mirror episode from Netflix called Common People is the best dystopic extrapolation of this kind of behavior that I have seen.
