Human behaviour is studied at great length and you can get one hell of a lot of info from a person's smartphone what they watch, for how long, what they watch afterwards, what they upvotes, downvote. Tie that in with smart watches that measure your bpm and blood pressure etc. That info is worth billions to the right people.

Then that guy will have ads for coffee machines, running gear and similar things shoved in his face. And because of all the additional info gathered from that guy the ad companies know when, and how often to show the ads to maximize the probability that he will buy something.
They're are no winners here except the people who have all this information.
