I loved in the story of that episode that the TV execs learned that blipverts could kill their audience, and briefly switched back to adverts, but when sales fell they went back to blipverts knowing the danger because it was more profitable. The writers of that show nailed a corporate dystopian future.
Our own hope was our protagonist Edison Carter “live and direct from Network 23”…who was also part of the giant corporate machine.
The blipverts were also several hours of ads in less than a second, which was the part that could kill you.
