I have never seen an ad in the past 6 years. I use android phone, windows PC and Android TV. Keen to hear when was the last time you saw an AD ? (aussie.zone)

Today. The entire city is filled with billboards and posters.

I really wish billboards were illegal

In some cities they are, and it's a beautiful thing. An example is Canberra, Australia.

I live near Seattle Washington and there are very few here. Pretty much only on Indian Reservations. But last summer I was on a road trip that took me through Salt Lake City Utah and there were SO MANY BILLBOARDS along the interstate there. I can’t believe the people put up with it.

Wow I did not notice that this was the case. Gotta appreciate this a bit the next time I visit.

It's literally what Times Square in Manhattan is known for.

I moved from somewhere with billboards all over the place to somewhere signs over 6 feet tall are illegal

It’s breathtakingly nicer

Time for AR where you can replace all those puplic ads with, umm, nsfw art, for example.

They can be a bit too much, but thanks to a billboard I found out that one of my favorite bands (Morcheeba) are playing in my city.
