Will AI Agents Defeat the Annoyance Economy?
Commentary is examining whether AI agents could undermine the 'annoyance economy' — the business models built on friction, ads, subscriptions and dark patterns that wear users down. The argument: if AI handles browsing, shopping and paperwork for people, companies lose the leverage that comes from exhausting consumers into compliance. Debate centres on whether that shift would genuinely benefit users or simply move the annoyance upstream.
Why now: Growing adoption of AI agents is prompting debate about their impact on attention-driven digital business models.
