The message this one gives is all too clear. No matter how you try to improve your life from within the system its only going from one cage to another. The only difference is some are more gilded and glamorous while others can be even worse than the one you already have. The best thing you can do is try to escape the cage and find a new life. Alas this poor man is just in another cage and he will have to live with that for the rest of his life.

It’s an allegory of the Black Mirror creator who also wrote this episode. Charlie Brooker was just another nobody like us until he started ranting against British pop culture and has his own show called screenwipe. Besides black mirror he has also made the two running series at the end of each year since 2020 called “Death to 202x” Now he’s just as rich as the people he is ranting against, but now he’s paid for it and arguably has a better life than the rest of us.

Anybody note how Big gave her the 15 million to go on the show because she was pretty, and how she was only chosen first out of all the others waiting for the same reason? She was given the opportunity because she's attractive, says a lot about our entertainment industry where it's the exact same.

[@kadimusbaratheon7352]

Pretty privilege has always been a thing. Anyone who thinks this doesn't exists is crazy. The real two problems with these people is that, the dude tried to change everything by himself and the attractive woman should not be that naive about the world she's in. Unfortunately, pretty people tend to be dumb like that. Lana Rhoades is a very good example.

[@richariot8325]

I'm not sure. Bing got attracted to her because of her voice, not because she was pretty or had a pretty voice, it was just different. But sure they left her in sooner because of her looks and that's our world today.

It even works like that in prison.

[@wrestletales]

@@richariot8325 No. Bing is not a hero in this story - he is just one of the people the camera focuses on. Bing likes her because she's pretty - her prettiness is actually emphasized on in this film. She got the ticket because Bing found her attractive and wanted her company. Even on the stage, she got an adulteress job for her looks. Bing does the same thing - he works for the one shot he could get. He tries to preach to them about the human principles they're breaking. But then, he gets offered a position outside of the cell - he goes for it. He's not killing himself. Also, keep in mind, he only got hired because the crowd got silent and actually listened to him. If they laughed and told him to die anyways, the hosts wouldn't have offered him any shot even if he was speaking the truth.

[@dimas3829]

not really. There are huge amouint of beutiful people out there, those who get the roles are the ones who either have mopney, comnnection or eager to sell their body to the director to get the role, so only about third is chosen by their looks and among that huge crowd only those willing to sell sex gets their roles (to then whine that they were "forced" to do it by some middle aged pathetic betamale pleading to have sex with her)

I first watched this episode back in 2019 and comforted myself with the idea that at least something like this happening would be way far in the future. Now here I am three years later, my post pandemic-new normal self writing this comment and painfully realizing that this dystopian reality is slowly coming true. Talk shows having the audience "show up" virtually, with screens on the bleachers instead of people, at the height of the pandemic certainly did not help with my anxiety.

[@meepmeep8152]

Aye, we can all fight against it by not conforming to it, but most people give in to peer pressure so easily. The most painful part was seeing these episodes and knowing this was not far off.

all joking aside getting paid to ride a stationary bike to help augment the town/city's power grid does seem like a sweet gig *IF* you can ride as much or as little as you want and get paid for the power you generate if hundreds or even thousands of people do it, it would help lessen our dependence on fossil fuels and give people a reason to exercise beyond just getting in shape

[@rudradixit460]

Energy is too cheap for the pay to matter. 1 hour of biking makes about 100 watts of energy, so if you bike as a full time job for 8 hours a day 5 days a week, even in a country with expensive electricity you'd come out with basically nothing. Denmark charges 36 cents for 1 kwh, so you'd make 5 dollars a week in an ideal situation.

[@LoLaSn]

Maybe useful in a hardcore post apocalyptic world with little to no fossil fuels and other sources of easily acquirable energy with all the technology and methods used to create other sources of energy such as thermal, solar, wind and fission.

people people people i wasn't talking about it being a job or anything like that. i meant like paying people to work out on stationary bikes designed to transform kinetic energy into electricity. people work out on stationary bikes all the time anyway and i think more people would if they got paid for it even if it was a tiny amount received at the end of each month. the amount of energy produced by those thousands of people wouldn't even come close to replacing the current power sources (it isn't meant to) but every little bit helps especially in places that experience frequent rolling brown outs

Because it's BS! Currently it's on hold, but if people don't start acting now that terrifying episode could LITERALLY become reality!

Closed space, bikes to produce energy, everyone has to contribute. They're either on a space ship or a bunker because the environment is uninhabitable, solar energy isn't an option and water is scarce is what I gather from the rationing scenes. The lower social level people have to produce energy and do maintenance while middle level members produce entertainment, higher level organizes and programs the experience. They are unseen because it would break the illusion of being able to climb socially. We only see the lower level who is surprisingly uneducated about the inner workings of his own environment, so he is angry about it. He was probably born into this place many generations separated from the first people who were pushed there because all he knows is to spin on bike to get ahead without a care about why until the end. Where he makes a lot of wild connections about the inner workings of his surroundings from the limited perspective of a lower class energy producer. I could connect this with anything really, personally I don't know what the writer had in mind when making this but I can deduce it has something to do about the entertainment world's sub-culture and its effect onto the masses of its consumers. We're all in this together. But in a dark way, that ignores the importance of every single role. So everything in this world is forced instead of explained which would be equally as effective to keep everyone in line. Except for a few troublemakers who justify their ignorance with anger, this story of control is a bit dramatic in that the solution is removing their humanity, but is still beautifully told.

I genuinely can't believe this is from 2011, this is so ahead of it's time. Not only from this all too realistic concept and it's predictions about many advanced tech products in 2023 but because it's also so well-made that it could release today and it would hold up A LOT.

[@jessebradley1123]

Sad thing is this is pretty much how most people nowadays live their lives..

[@pvtred]

Black Mirror episodes always end in such a bitter way. I love it, but it's not easy to watch them back to back.

[@fuffoon]

This was better than the actual episode. It pointed out things that flew by me.

[@theunfunnyjokester]

Doesn't mean it's better than the episode, it just means you gotta pay attention lol

What exactly is the point of being forced to watch ads all the time if you're not gonna be able to buy anything you're being advertised?

[@Wary_Of_Extremes]

some do pay for what's advertised, or pay a little to skip

[@inevy6649]

This is simply a reflection of reality where everyone is searching for freedom without realizing they are simply moving into a bigger cage

Still to this day my favorite episode.

At the end of the movie, Abby is still getting her guts dug out.

[@defydakidd9119]

Why is this dude always in things that torture him?

[@NapalmNarcissus]

Because he's a fairly innocent-looking dude, but also black so the shows he's in can avoid perpetuating racecoding and shit like that, at least that's what I think. A lot of older shows and movies have a habit of making good guys white and bad guys brown, this dude being the protag and also a black guy turns that around. Now we get to watch a couple hours of a black guy getting kicked while he's down despite not deserving it.

[@ChaChaDubs]

This is so depressing. I couldn’t imagine living in a world like this.

Boy do I have some bad news for you.

@@leyrua Well I’m assuming this episode is allegorical to the fact that most of the modern teen and adult’s life consists of a nonstop flow of destructive media from the time they wake up to the time they fall asleep

Great episode

[@Suds1407]

So the bikes power all the screens? Wouldn’t it be better to have less screens to get more value from the bike power? Guess that wouldn’t look as cool

[@neoloanderson6676]

Less screens mean less people on them, without purpose rebellion would ensue.

[@masterkent1]

this is like when youtube puts up unskippable ads

[@sungjoo1360]

That was such a unsatisfying ending

[@KingDusk278]

This is very definition of “when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade”.

[@valdread6609]

The scene with the unskipable ads that must be watched was awful.

[@somedumbusername]

I saw the title and thought, ‘Want a break from the ads?’ on repeat

[@chau6340]

whats the point of the advertising when you're living in a box?

[@hotcrazycatladyme168]

This isn't the future. This is right now. lol

[@raymond2136]

What a blue-pilled ending

[@grimaffiliations3671]

What does that mean

[@foxernator]

@Mcheetah It's a reference to the Matrix where you can take the Red Pill and you learn about 'The Truth' IE you are living in a simulation or the 'Blue Pill' where you choose to forget and live in the simulation. So it's used as a term to just not acknowledge the Simulacrum and just live your live oblivious. Loads of people go crazy when they learn the truth and they'd rather just live in a simulated dream.

Fr I tought he was really gonna do something and not sell out, but the ending we got was the most realistic one.

The first episode I was shown of this show was the one where the guys testing the VR headset with the haunted house. The next episode I saw was this one. Needless to say I was completely hooked from there on out

scary thing is this might happen in the future, not the same way as this, but similar

[@MrUnironicEnthusiasm]

I was smoking with a buddy once and he asked if I had ever seen Black Mirror. I said no, and he put on this episode. Not a good watch while high, lemme tell you.

[@rahulshendre7089]

This movie predicted the future !! It was released in 2011 and now its 2022

[@saved_yet_so_as_by_fire]

Man this episode got to me, actually brought me to tears.

[@gogicore]

my worst fear is my life being filled with unskippable adds. I actually freak when KZbin or any other streaming platforms play unskippable ads. I close and open the video until theres no ad.

[@theveryfirstlostgirl]

sometimes I mute and turn my phone face down

[@deadbodychic75]

Please do more Black Mirror Episodes!! 😄 Nose Dive is my favorite but there are so many great ones and some I was a little confused by.

[@astranix0198]

Are you sure this is unrealistic?

[@insomicraiddict]

Either die a hero or live long enough to not die.

[@Dfoskdty]

Imo this is decent (not great but ok) because it actually shows the underdog character doing what alot of us probably would do if we had an opportunity like that. It also perfectly portrays youtubers and just people in general who do these type of "muh capitalism bad, muh big business bad" type of content. As in they don't really mean it.

[@LARRYBEAR]

It's so awesome! I wanna rewatch black mirror!!!

[@JamesFortin89]

Never watched the show but the Cup-Liance Compliance is pretty genius I've never seen that play on word before!!

Screened rooms? Okay BUT Adds??? This is pure torture

[@leyrua]

The irony is that the screens they watch while biking probably consume more electricity than the bikes generate.

In the present , People voluntarily Live in Screened Rooms That Show Ads All Day.....because...it's safe and effective....
