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 ?

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.

There are godamne billbords there especialy past the airport and on bus stops etc

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

It’s breathtakingly nicer

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.

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

Yea I meant on your personal device like phones , PC etc

No idea then. I use adblock on all of my devices, but sometimes things slip through. And I sometimes click on one of those SEO fake "articles" that are really just ads when I'm searching for something.

I've been trying to reach you about your car insurance.
