"You want to order from a local restaurant, but you need to download a
third-party delivery app, even though you plan to pick it up yourself. The
prices and menu on the app are different to what you saw in the window. When
you download a second app the prices are different again. You ring the
restaurant directly and it says the number is no longer in service. You go to
the restaurant and order in person. You mention that their website has the
wrong number and the woman behind the counter says they have to contact the
company who designed the site for changes, which will cost them, but most
people just order through an app anyway.
You want to watch the trailer for an upcoming movie on YouTube but you first
have to sit through an ad. Then you sit through a preview for the trailer
itself. Then you watch the trailer, which is literally another ad. When it
ends, it cues up a new trailer, with a new ad at the start of it.
The first page of Google results are links to pages that have scraped other
pages for information from other pages that have been scraped for information.
All the sources seem to link back to one another. There is no origin. The
photos on the page look weird. The hands are disfigured. There is no image
credit."
