    The game Shadows of Doubt has an augmentation that gives you money up front, then fills your brain with obnoxious ads until you have to pay to remove it.

        The best one for this is the Sponsered Cybereye:

        "Artificial eye that replaces a meat one. A Sponsored Cybereye has 2 Option Slots for Cybereye options and comes preinstalled with the Chyron Cybereye option. The Chyron doesn’t cost any extra Humanity Loss and does not take up an Option Slot, but cannot be removed without destroying the Cybereye beyond repair. Up to once per waking hour, whenever the GM desires, quite possibly at the worst moment, the Chyron subscreen in your vision will be served an advertise- ment from a company sponsoring the Cybereye. Until you spend an Action to close the ad, you take −1 to all Checks requiring vision. On the upside, these ads may contain limited-time-only deals you legitimately might want, like 5eb off your next can of Smash if you first buy one and finish it in one chug in front of an Oasis clerk within the next 10 minutes."

    In OG Cyberpunk, this was explicitly laid out as the real reason for cyberpsychosis

      It was the corporations still technically owning the implants and thereby owning you once you became too robotic

      Having obnoxious ads inside my eyeballs when my eyelids are shut would probably make me unhappy. :yea:
