The following is based on a true story:

Jack Smith uploaded his consciousness to a ‘virtual rebirth’ company.

He was immediately bombarded with ads.

“Alright, alright … How do I make them stop?”

“That’s simple, Jack,” said a salesperson. “Try out our products.”

Jack did so …

But the ads kept coming.

“Okay, I’ll test more products. Stop the flashing ads! I can’t even think!”

As Jack sampled virtual products, he left thoughtful reviews, earning him ‘timeout credits,’ blocking ads for a certain period.

Jack had failed to read the virtual company’s contractual fine print mentioning:

‘advertising-supported revenue.’
