I just wanted to add that the grass is always greener on the other side. I've spent a decade in Maine where advertising is mostly non-existent, and I loved traveling to Boston or NYC where I got to see the result of giant advertising budgets.
- johnkpaul 8y agoDo you mean for the novelty or because you actually enjoyed the advertising?
- JCharante 8y agoI love how billboards (which are essentially banned in Maine) add to the major roads. I love seeing giant ads slapped on the side of buildings, reminding me that the second season of 13 reasons why is now on Netflix. I love seeing advertisements for SaaS companies. It makes me feel like I'm in civilization, and it reminds me of my childhood in Peru.
- isostatic 8y agoThere's some novelty at specific locations (Times Square, Picadilly Circus), sure. I also seek out adverts (blatent ones, like trailers, or christmas adverts), but those are on my terms. I had the misfortune of hearing a few minutes of commercial radio in a taxi when I'd forgotton my earphones the other day. The assault on the senses that advertising brings is unbelievable.
