In a world where privacy is dead this is to be expected. I'm sure in 10 years time everyone will think of this as the new norm

  Ads of you wearing the clothes they are trying to sell you. Yet another torment nexus to build!

    “Don’t Create the Torment Nexus” in this case is Stand on Zanzibar from 1968, which called this concept Mr and Mrs Everywhere

    I have my doubts this would ever catch on, people will be creeped out and furious for ads (generally speaking), perhaps online clothing shops previewing is palatable

    Only the first generation to experience it. Gen two would just think it’s how things are.
    Point- advertising to children in general used to be considered morally and ethically wrong and yet paw patrol exists today.
