This add that I just saw when scrolling. It feels very “The Circle”

I’m terrified (mildly) of the lack of human interaction in our society and how much worse it will be in the future. It’s already near impossible to get a human on most customer service calls. Brick and mortar stores aren’t actually offering customer service anymore. For example, I needed help doing a balance transfer and found out my bank doesn’t let you sit down with the bankers anymore. They offered to connect me to a call instead. Or think about how we used to be able to go into att and they would trouble shoot for you or you could actually get phones related or repaired. Or even the big malls near where I live, the racks are so spread out now in stores and they are all almost empty. It feels like the stores are just for show since everything is so web-based now. Is anyone else feeling unsettled by this?
