Haha now if only they could do it in Times Square. That place is a giant eyesore.
I used to feel bad about using an ad blocker on the internet, but not anymore. I utilize PiHole and uBO for ad blocking now because the internet has literally become unusable without it. I never minded seeing ads, but they have gotten so brazen about it now with the most obnoxious ads possible. When the ads start negatively affecting the usability of the Internet there’s a serious problem. So they can either use respectful ad placement and get some revenue from me, or they can have them blocked and get zero revenue. It’s their choice.
I have network wide ad blocking with a PiHole server. I’ve also got a Wireguard VPN server so I can connect to have PiHole ad blocking on my phone while I’m out.
Wasn’t there once a Spotify ad for their own premium service where all they did was play annoying dissonant sounds and then was like “you wouldn’t have had to hear that if you had premium.”
I wouldn’t have had to hear that if I didn’t use your fucking app and torrented all my music, how bout that?
(I never got an ad like this back when I still used Spotify so I can’t confirm if this is real or not. Anyone else know what I’m talking about and can confirm if this was ever a thing?)
Those Braille reader screens will start injecting ads.
And these dumb fuck advertisers will advertise something like car insurance on there.
I always get these spam letters in the mail about how I am preapproved for car insurance. Like I don’t even have a drivers license, so their approval process is clearly not very thorough.
Technically they didn’t block it enough, you can still read the company name. Advertisers will love it even more because it will circulate social media. I hate this game.
Crazy how we could just pass a law outlawing billboards and ads like this. But we don't.
There are voter initiatives in so many states, but we don't use them for anything fun. Just carrying water for Uber to protect it from its employees or finding new ways to oppress minorities.
