You, like many people in [[this world]], work for SuperCorp®, the Superest (and only) Corporation In The World®.
It got its start a few decades ago, and nobody thought much of it. "The Internet is a passing fad," they said. "You invest in any business on the Internet and you're taking your life in your hands. And also your wallet."
At least, that's what you think they said. You weren't alive to see it. They took over the market about 40 years before you were born, and [[every aspect of modern life]] soon after that. The only corporation in the world. They own everything.
[[Including you.]]It's a SuperCorp® World™ now! There isn't anything else out there anymore. It's a [[total monopoly.->SuperCorp]]Books, movies, food, clothes, electronics, vitamins, water pipes, backyard grills, doorbells, security cameras, school supplies, schools themselves, thermostats, newspapers, public transport, fire departments, ambulances, pharmacies...

You work for SuperCorp® [[SuperFlicks®]] customer service. And you hate it. It's gruelling, brutal, and exhausting, and pays almost nothing. But you don't really have a choice, [[do you?->Unionize]]

Why is this so hard?
It feels like every day's a Sisyphean task.
Every day's the same thing. Over and over. Nothing but work, work you don't care about, work that humanity would be fine without. Every day, until you die.
...You should probably get [[to work->Working]] anyway...right?
[continue]*Can't* you do something about it, though? If you work with others, at least. There's more people working for SuperCorp® than there are people in charge of it. Why are we all letting them run everything?
The SuperCorp® SuperChip® in the SuperWrist® Bracelet™ clamped onto your arm senses these thoughts, and sends a small electric jolt through your body, reminding you to get [[back to work->At Work]].But is this really living? Working at a job that doesn't really need you, that doesn't really need to exist, every day, to profit someone else, for the rest of your life? You barely have the time or the energy to enjoy anything.
Is this really worth it?
...The SuperCorp® SuperChip® in the SuperWrist® Bracelet™ senses these thoughts, and shocks you, reminding you to [[get to work->WakeUpMinusVariable]].Why do they own all this, though? How can anyone *own* the resources other people need to survive? So they can hold them ransom?

You're tired. And you're tired of being tired.
Isn't there another way? Isn't there a way you can spend your life doing something that matters, instead of wasting it maintaining a company that doesn't care whether you live or die? Isn't there a better way than letting people perish if they don't have the money to survive?
There's more people working for this company than there are people running it. What if we worked together? What if we could all forge a better way?
You take a look at your SuperWrist® Bracelet™. And you reach for the clasp. It shocks you, over and over, as you try to remove it, but you're determined.
There *has* to be a better way.

You are Sisyphus. Out of circumstances beyond your control, you must sell your labor to survive. The world has been designed around this. Every day is the same. You work to eat and eat to work, and every day it starts all over again. Your energy stripped from you and funneled into profit only the people you work for benefit from.

[continue]Apparently, decades ago, there were many companies, some of whom were dedicated solely to film and television. And a ton of them started their own streaming services. Dozens and dozens of them. It was a nightmare; nobody could afford every service out there, and the industry was on the verge of collapse.
Then SuperCorp® started taking them over, and started consolidating them into one megamedia streaming conglomerate. People celebrated that at first. Then, SuperCorp® decided to split their media monopoly across multiple different streaming services again, because they realized they could get paid twice for things that could've been part of the same service. Which made people less happy.
And thus, SuperCorp® SuperFlicks® was born.
