if someone puts ads "everywhere you look" then you shouldn't be there in the first place. I can't think of many places that are saturated with advertising and also worth looking at. The internet is a unique in being so saturated because advertising is so cheap.
- JohnFen 7y ago> if someone puts ads "everywhere you look" then you shouldn't be there in the first place Really? So I shouldn't be in most public spaces? I reject that notion. The counter to my statement that I would agree with is "that's just one of the irritations you have to put up with in our society".
- buboard 7y agoyou should complain to your mayor if they do of course. If however most residents are ok with them, then yeah , i guess other people are the irritation you have to put up with
- ericmay 7y agoI think most residents are ok with them, but it’s because they don’t have a clear choice, haven’t stopped to think about it, and/or “that’s just how things have always been”.
- buboard 7y agoyou can say that about anything
- JohnFen 7y agoComplaints of that sort aren't really rare, but they don't carry much weight. The issue is minor enough that few people are going to refuse to elect or reelect anyone based on it (generally speaking -- there have been instances where the problem had grown so egregious that it caused general uproar leading to some restrictions), and cities both make money from the practice and are constantly lobbied to expand it.
