There’s a Black Mirror episode about a similar scenario taken to the extreme. It’s quite good.
One step closer to Night City

It wasn't good. It was terrible.
But also good.

Diamond in the rough of that season. However, I judge black mirror episodes by how much existential dread they give you.

Thought about the same thing. Really terrifying.

The ad gets into your brain. just like this liquid gets into this egg. Although in reality. it’s not liquid, but gamma radiation.

“Now, if you’re part of Control Group Kepler-Seven, we implanted a tiny microchip about the size of a postcard into your skull. Most likely you’ve forgotten it’s even there, but if it starts vibrating and beeping during this next test, let us know, because that means it’s about to hit five hundred degrees, so we’re gonna need to go ahead and get that out of you pretty fast.”

The ad-less experience is a scam, you don’t get any “ad’s” but you still get nothing but sponsored dreams that are 15 minutes of talking about a product 1 minute of enough “content” to get the thumbnail then 30 minutes of more sponsored content.
What you really need to do to get the best out of your sleep is upgrade to the new Premium Plus! Dream package with select artisan videos from your favorite artists from across the neuronet, for only $59.99 you can enjoy up to five free unique tracks with the option to unlock new Tracks for only an additional $9.99 a track that is a full $20 less than the original premium package when prompted in your ad-less sleep to unlock the additional package be sure to have a scan of your ID and rectal cavity for verification act now and get a free 15 second sample of the human generated track, now back to your premium ad-less content.

I want fat shit Erik from ICE to get sponsored by Raid Shadow Legends or Clash Royale just to see what weird ass skit he comes up with to sarcastically shit all over the product.

If you got a brain chip with closed source software, you needed that brain chip

If Jensen’s brain had ads I would have actually empathised with him instead of sardonically yelling “oh, fuck off” when he said “I never asked for this”.

Something the game downplays a lot, but does mention, is how much life sucks for those who need cyberware like Jensen does. First of all, they’re basically always in pain. Phantom pain and rehular pain from how the cyberware connects to your body. Second, they need to take some anti-rejection meditation that has awful side-effects (not least of which was the big event from the bad guys that made everyone go psycho; but I’m not gonna count that one since it’s not something that affects Jensen through the whole game).

I mean, yeah, it was a tongue in check comment. Of course losing most of your body, even if it’s replaced by supercool killer robot parts is traumatic af.

The chip implanted in your brain is no longer supported and won’t get any new security updates. Please purchase a new one.

Breathing regularly too (They will make you breath every 8 seconds to save oxigen since rich people need it more)

◽ Yes, I want to upgrade now.
◽ Ask me again later.

It’s no longer supported, but you’ll still get ads.

That’s the best news all day! The open source community will replace the software with something less buggy, more useful more secure, and add-free.
