Buddy had the nightmarish idea a while back with all the new generative ai stuff for video chat services injecting ads using the faces/voices of the participants in lieu of payment. Just, regularly-schedule ad breaks in your call where “your friend” suddenly starts talking about how excited they are about Raid: Shadow Legends
Lol, I want to believe it was someone who wanted to slow the spread of this concept in the world, lashing out against it the only way they could.
That said I’ve def bookmarked that episode for watching. I lost track of Black MIrror, it’s a bit tough in that it’s so grim that each episode doesn’t really leave you wanting to watch the next one in my experience. But it’s had some bangers.
Remember those atrocious sexist Axe body spray ads where men get rejected by women until they shower themselves with deodorant? Imagine that but with your own face. And the face of your crush as the women rejecting you because the algorithm knows anyways.

That one is particularly rage inducing if it’s the one I’m thinking of (I think ep 1 of the new season?).
Some of the others in the new season aren’t so depressing or rage inducing, though.
Or the other way around.

Delightfully devilish…
Jesus. Delet this.
Too late, Black Mirror already has an episode about this exact idea (starring Rashida Jones).
