Would you let a parasite live in you for Hulu?

It's a simple question. Would you let a company engineered parasite harvest your bodily fluids in exchange for access to services that are normally supported by advertisement revenue? Maybe this is a biological implant they can remove from your stomach in five minutes to extract the material; maybe it infects your whole body and the usable byproduct is harvested through your urine. The concept remains the same. After that, they deposit credits into your service account and you can watch x minutes of Netflix. It is not exchangeable for real money. Assume there are reasonably negative side effects like sluggishness or diarrhea.

Does this cross your personal boundary? It seems like a reasonable question to ask with biomedical engineering being one the great new frontiers of technology. Also, for many people of lower socioeconomic standing, it's much easier to sell your body than it is to produce real goods and services, which is why prostitution is so prolific.

Are you... asking for a friend (that works in research and development for hulu)?

Now what's the next step in your master plan?

People would get paranoid that having the Hulu parasite will try to kill the Netflix parasite when you get a second one. Or be worried of changes in policy of things that could void the service if you do them (maybe you can't travel to some countries), or that it may leave something behind after you decide to drop the service.
