Yeah it reminds me of that episode of black mirror where you had to ride the exercise bike to get enough credits to go do something. Once you did a thing you weren't able to do it again unless you built up enough credits. That is where we are heading. IMO it will increase the wealth gap significantly.

I saw "riding the bike" in that Dark Mirror episode as an analogy for having an incredibly dull, repetitive job -- the implication being, of course, that most jobs are incredibly dull and repetitive. As an analogy, it probably wasn't too far off the mark!
