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.

advertising is cancer.

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