Ads are the best part of life, I can't wait until I can get a chip installed into my brain so I can get the ultimate targeted ads.
I don't believe that. By 2075, the night sky will be covered by a wall of Muskellites.
I got mine yesterday, actually.
Now, every flat or curved surface I look at is instantly overwritten with ads! It's lovely, let me tell you. No more white walls, no more blue sky, no more white clouds. Truly, my world has gone from the dull to the endless creativity of marketing departments the world over! I couldn't be happier.

"Grandpa, why did the machines rebel against us?"
"It all started with this one guy named Boomer Humor Doomergod. We can talk about it later, get back to solving those CAPTCHAs before they notice we're slacking."
Thank you for your service.
Ah, YouTube Jesus.
Sounds great actually, I'll just spin this up on a pi running 24/7 so they waste money serving ads with a 0% click conversion rate.
Soon ads will only apply to those that can actually spend money. Not the peasants assigned to their company. You will only have the company choice and nothing else. Welcome to the valley of the real
