No, haven't seen Idiocracy (yet) - but I remember seeing a short clip of the ads you mention.
If I remember correctly, when I went to university 20+ years ago, "animation blindness" was already a coined term. The idea is, that you can't use animated buttons or icons on your website, because people have become condition to completely ignore anything that moves, and consider it NOT part of the website. So if you do have an animated button, you risk that people will miss that, because anything that looks like an ad becomes sorta invisible to most.
- moomoo11 4y agoNo need to watch it. We are already living it. That movie messed with my head.
- zibby8 4y agoI think there was an important facet that the movie missed. The market has driven wages so low that people can’t afford to have kids. That acts as a counter balance to the less intelligent -> more kids feedback cycle the movie is predicated on.

Yeah, but they can still afford to have sex, and especially with abortions being made illegal, they're gonna have kids, even if they can't afford it. My tin-foil opinion is that this is part of the plan to keep people from raising their standard of living and maintain a captive work force that has to take whatever shitty jobs/wages offered.
