Black mirror surprisingly accurately captured the human consequences of the ultra-capitalistic-tech future.
Still remember the episode where the guy runs on a treadmill to collect points and uses it on porn. Not too different from tech workers running hard everyday and yet, spending all their money on only-fans, living in a studio apartment in a VHCOL city.
- solardev 3y agoIMHO it's great that tech money is being redistributed to sex workers who work their butts (and other parts) off just to make a living. They might want families someday too, and their industry is way harsher. Better they get paid than tech workers hoarding money and driving up housing costs for everyone.
- nine_zeros 3y agoIt is good that tech money is getting redistributed but it is also important to recognize how stupidly trivialized tech worker life has become.

- pests 3y agoJust to be pedantic but in that episode the main character does not use it on porn himself although that is a common use of points in that world. The episode is about his love interest falling for that side of producing income however.
