There are people that think billboards are the worst kind of advertisement because they only block pretty views of nature rather than coming along side content that you want to see. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highway_Beautification_Act https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highway_Beautification_Act
- Nadya 11y agoNot to mention that they often target drivers who should be keeping their eyes on the damn road, not reading a billboard while traveling 65mph on the freeway. (Edit: Thinking about it, I think I'm one of the few people in my state to ever obey the posted speed limits. So change "65mph" to "80mph".)
- feld 11y agoI've never been angry at a billboard, but then again I've never lived in a hellscape where they are the only thing in sight. And if I did I'd probably move away. And the advertisers would have to deal with it. edit: maybe more accurately "a billboard has never obstructed my use of the highway, reduced my MPG, tampered with my car, or increased my cost of traveling in any measurable way"
