    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.’
