Yeah, check out Altered Carbon (the first book or the first season) for how this would likely play out.
The other implication of that show is that you need to keep paying, even after you're dead. You are no longer earning anything in the afterlife and are entirely dependent on having family/friends/loved ones continue paying for your access to the upper tier. But once the "second death" where people forget about you happens, the poor experience is inevitable, and you accept that you're nothing more than a scanned consciousness to be used by this corporation for profit.
Enshittification - not just for social media anymore...
I like how you only mentioned the first season, I didn't watch season 2 at all..
Anthony Mackie did great with what he had to work with. But the writing sucked.
Avoid, though I respect Anthony Mackie for trying with that "script". Be happy with S1 and look no further
