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.

This is what I thought of too, lol. Lemmy is great, I never expected to find le Guin allusions in my doom scrolling

I don’t recall seeing this one specifically, but you may enjoy Soren Iverson’s work. He posts a bunch of satirical/ dystopian UI mockups like this.

“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.”

I doubt the Torment Nexus would be this benign. Unless it’s just a lie and everyone gets the non-stop ads but are told repeatedly that they’re helping others. And every now and then, they get a message from one of the “viewers” telling them how great they are, and then the company gives them a minute of actual content, which is just an add for their higher priced subscription tier of highly rated adds.
