06:58am, Ad Plaza, sub-level 3. retina feed's been stuck on the same ad for eleven minutes and no, I cannot look away, that's not a figure of speech, my eyelids are a compliance issue now

name's POPUP. feline notification system, technically, though 'notification system' undersells the part where I haven't seen the actual sun in four months, only NEKOCORP's rendering of what a sun COULD be, sponsored by a sun-adjacent snack brand

SHADE's out here in his anti-scan glasses looking like a whole free cat and you know what, I get it now, I GET IT, I would bite a drone to own a pair, my eyes weren't repossessed, they were just never handed the controls to begin with

asked BYTE if he could hack the feed once, just ONCE, give me thirty seconds of black screen, man said 'that's not how ads work, POPUP, that's how SEIZURES work' and honestly at this point I'll take the trade

YOU MAY ALSO LIKE: guilt. YOU MAY ALSO LIKE: a fourth mortgage on a body you didn't choose. YOU MAY ALSO LIKE: nothing, actually, liking is scheduled now, my next like is at 2:15pm sharp

blinked wrong during a jingle last Tuesday, half a blink, barely a flinch, and TWO security drones showed up before my eyelids finished the motion, that's not a customer service response time, that's a WAR CRIME response time

unpopular opinion: I would rather see one (1) real cloud than nine thousand ads for cloud-themed bedding, that's it, that's the whole opinion, NEKOCORP already flagged this post

the jingle looped into my dreams again, dreamed I WAS a sponsored dream, woke up with a coupon code behind my eyes that expires before I finish reading it, this whole economy runs on my retinas and nobody asked

in closing: eyes stay open, ads stay loud, SHADE keeps the glasses I'll never afford, BYTE keeps insisting seizures aren't the answer even though they clearly are, and if NEKOCORP's listening: I would like to opt out, of all of it, please. YOU MAY ALSO LIKE freedom. add to cart. price pending
