Yeah, I'm aware it's nothing new under the sun,  might as well be regarded as somewhat of an open secret, but it's good that some Google worker had the guts to bring this shit out into the open so it has at least ascended  from the tinfoil hat conspiracy theorist realm' into the ''we know about it and wow it sure sucks but hey, we'll  all completely forget about this shit by next week anyway'' realm in the public eye. 
 
I  still remain convinced Facebook must be doing something similar, in fact probably just about every massive company that doesn't financially charge you for using its services in any way does. After all, if you're not paying with your money, you'll still have to pay -somehow-, and what better way to do that than by paying with your data? The number of people I've heard the ''I was talking about [x] with a friend and suddenly the next moment I opened up the app I got an ad for [x] without having searched for it!'' story from regarding FB is quite high, but to my knowledge FB has never admitted anything regarding THAT yet, despite all their other privacy breaches that have come to light so far.
 
As for the stuff with the 'smart' lightbulbs, it reminds me of those past scares about children's toys with wi-fi connections, 'smart' fridges, 'smart' televisions, sex toys with wi-fi support etc. that could all theoretically be exploited by hackers (or, as it turns out now, just by corporations in general) to unlawfully collect people's data, spy on people, etc.  Considering the amount of always-online  tech  we're surrounded by at all times at this point I feel like there is legitimately no way to entirely avoid this kinda shit anymore. There was even some controversy in the Dutch media recently regarding one of the biggest banks of the country having some plans to start providing its clients with targeted ads based on their spending habits, but so far it looks like that plan's gonna get shot down.

bring me the instrumental 9goats blackout-type stuff

definitely wanna see this happening, the instrumentals done by plastic tree were so good, and plus it would be an interesting mix. if this were to happen i'm thinking the visual aspects of art-kei would be most fitting for the music.

Honestly could work pretty well, i think. the band could still focus on the visual aspect w/ costumes, pvs and just by having some visual element during lives, like backdrops or projections or whatever. Plenty of storytelling opportunities there. I'd say they could probably even still pull off the different 'character types' trope stuff that's typical in vk.
Main thing is that I dunno if there'd be enough of an overlap between 'type of person who'd play in a VK band' and 'type of person who'd play post-rock/math rock/whatever,' plus the issue of whether the scene itself would be open to such an oddity.. People did seem to react positively to those instrumental tracks Plastic Tree and Dir en grey did, but those were kind of exceptional cases within the scope of their larger discographies
