Can't wait for the future debate of whether normies put their brain in an apple, macrohard, or gøøgl€ device and be forced to view ads for the rest of their existence while not actually having control over themselves.
Bold of you to assume it wouldn't be an hour based subscription.

People will get addicted and it'll become the new most powerful drug.
I know about serial experiments lain but never watched it despite knowing it's extremely good and really short cause i got a hard burn out from watching Naruto, bleach and one piece when teen.
Did i describe the main plot of the show or something? I don't care about spoilers since i will probably never watch it anyway.
The tl;dr is that the Wired (basically the Web) has an issue of pulling people in so deep that they rot away or die to get deeper into it. Lain, the main character, initially gets on there to find out what happened to a classmate of hers, and then proceeds to become very heavily addicted to it, like many others before her, with the plot and world becoming incoherent over the course of the series, mirroring Lain’s psychological decline. You didn’t really stumble your way into describing the plot of it, but your comment very much sounds like something that’d be in it.
So another psychologically disturbing anime a la evangilion.
Slight tangent : i haven't seen the show in while but Shinji may be the most normal anime character ever, too much normal even . He acted like every introvert teen with crippling anxiety would in his situation. He is worst character I've ever seen on anything. That shit is a masterpiece.
