Stuff like this always reminds me of the personalized ads in Mass Effect (like here: https://youtu.be/hMdIypwM2KI ). That game has accurately depicted the future.

Someone at Samsung submitted a user story only to troll, and it worked "I need you to drain my phone battery and data plan for ads when I dont even look at it"

Don't they know how ugly the common people are. I'm not gonna buy something with an ugly guy in the ad. We ain't all plastic surgery Korean like Samsung home base.

Just the nature of history. We are pretty early in the information age.
