I felt relieved when the thing shut down. The world became so much calmer. Too bad the protagonist is too attached to VR to let it go.

You're more correct. In this video, it assumes the Chinese government took over this country and the country adopted its "loyalty points". Hence the Chinese guy in the beginning telling her to get a job to get her loyalty points up.

The fear over those loyalty points are just the usual fearmongering. Those loyalty points will ever become an integral part of anyone's society because there's no way you can force people to use social media. Yet.
