Black mirror surprisingly accurately captured the human consequences of the ultra-capitalistic-tech future.

Still remember the episode where the guy runs on a treadmill to collect points and uses it on porn. Not too different from tech workers running hard everyday and yet, spending all their money on only fans instead of with family.

It is good that tech money is getting redistributed but it is also important to recognize how stupidly trivialized tech worker life has become.

Just to be pedantic but in that episode the main character does not use it on porn himself although that is a common use of points in that world. The episode is about his love interest falling for that side of producing income however.
