    I like to think there is a point where the average person would observe a certain level of bullshit and immediately escalate to extreme violence against their corporate overlords.

    I’m not saying that this patent is my level. I’m not saying this patent is not my level.

    I like how the patent app goes right back into one person shooting another. Whoever put that together knew what they were doing.

    See, shit like this is why I pirate crap. Why in the world people use almost any streaming service is just beyond me.

    The only good ones are the independent services run by actual Youtubers like Nebula and the like. At least those ones help contribute directly to content creators.

    Who is dumb enough to just allow themselves to be manipulated, abused and taken for a ride in such a way?

      The general population. It’s why this stuff exists.

    If this ever gets implemented the amount of bricks being delivered through HQ windows would skyrocket.

    This patent is borderline “there are 4 lights” shit. What’s to stop the ‘passcode’ from being “I sure am hungry, let’s get mcdonald’s” and pavloving the general population?

      That’s absolutely the point. The goal of most marketing is to worm into everyone’s brains so when they think of a need, the product is their default. This doubles down on that by trying to generate a need through action.
