This makes me think of this book I read years ago. I think it was called Feed? They had these implants that would show advertising. Well one of the characters would visit random stores and do super random things to throw off the targeted advertising. When the implant started going wrong, the company that made the implant wouldn't fix the implant because the ad profile was not able to profit. Or something like that.
this is an example of science fiction becoming reality.
in the book called the feed you get an implant to connect you 24x7 to the internet. it costs lots of money... i think something like $ millions in today's money... if you can't monetize you... they take it back... and your life is usually destroyed because you are so hooked and your brain pathways and habits are soo intertwined.
in reality... you have the similar implant called android/iphone... and according to this post if youtube can't monetize you... then you lose your google account and your life is kind of destroyed.
lots of parallels.
While it's more comic satire than unsettling dystopia, every theme you are asking about is right here in M.T. Anderson's Feed. I teach this to freshmen in my English class.
If you'd rather get that same creepy vibe that you do with Black Mirror episodes, I would instead suggest anything by Philip K. Dick. Most will probably recommend Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, but my personal favorite is The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch.
I’ve been teaching Feed to high schoolers for a few years now. It’s a dystopian novel taking place in the future in which all middle- and upper-class Americans are plugged into “the Feed” in which all advertisement, education, socializing, parenting, etc. must channel through its medium. The human race is gradually dumbed-down to the common denominator, and the environment begins to crumble beneath corporations desperate for resources. It’s marketed for YA, but there’s much more that lies beneath the surface. Every year I discover more complexities that Anderson has woven into this novel! I hope it’s what you’re looking for.
Y'all need to read Feed.
I’d suggest Feed by Matthew Tobin Anderson. I haven’t read it yet tbh, but I heard that it’s got a similar vibe to Orwell’s books, and that it’s great.
God I sure do love the refreshing taste of Coke^tm if we all could come together and drink Coke^tm we might actually have a chance at world peace. Did I mention that Come^tm tastes great and is very refreshing.

Could this be it? Sorry if I'm not even close https://www.amazon.com/Feed-M-T-Anderson/dp/0763662623
In inglese l'ho trovato subito su amazon.it https://www.amazon.it/Feed-M-T-Anderson/dp/0763662623
se lo vuoi in italiano non so, non so neanche se è stato tradotto.
Haven't read it yet, but it sounds a lot like Feed
I don't think we know, since we don't have them. I wouldn't imagine them being a pill, exactly, but more like a more embeddedable version of google glass, kind of like in FEED.
