Yeah, it's not that hard to imagine the next bit where there's a captive warehouse of monkeys solving CAPTCHAS for food or something. It's a depressing video to be sure.

Right now, this is being done with people from India, so ... I'm not sure if your dystopia vision is a step up or down on the civilisation ladder.

By "captive", I meant they didn't choose to do so, and didn't get to go home after their shift, and weren't compensated outside of food.
