another smaller horror of this is: there will 1000% be ads. zero percent chance there will not be ads. even worse, people will be understandably reticent about ads at first, and services will be advertised without ads. then they’ll become subscriptions with ads. just like everything else.

For your comfort and convenience, this update deactivates the part of your brain that makes you think you dislike advertisements, among other bug fixes and improvements.

The function of an ad is to manipulate your behavior. If an implant can do this directly ads aren’t needed anymore.
