There's already more than enough visual pollution and distractions out there don't you think?

  i'm from india, the city i'm targeting has imposed ban on billboards because here there are way too many, taking up too much space and more importantly they are not authorised by the government. To avoid distracted driving we only allow Gif's instead of videos.

    > the city i'm targeting has imposed ban on billboards If people were so fed up with billboards to the point of banning them, why would you do something similar even though it's hated by enough people to pass a city-wide ban on it? And why do you think the city can't ban your solution just like they did with billboards?

      Sorry i was not clear on my previous comment, it was not a city-wide ban. The ban was imposed by the govt because they were installed in restricted zones and No billboards at all during the monsoon. The only competitor i have is https://www.adonmo.com/ https://www.adonmo.com/ They Raised 3 Million dollars led by BAce Capital this January, and the fact that it is backed by the government. I feel that my product has much to offer, because of its ad delivery mode (using a delivery box). Three advertising Sides. More Advertising space Online Portal to publish. Also it is at eye-level compared to their roof-top advertising.

        Okay, maybe I was being too subtle so let’s be more direct: billboards were banned for a reason, people don’t want garbage polluting their vision. Your business plans to reintroduce this... maybe find something else to do that doesn’t involve pissing people off?

        you dont think this idea is worth pursuing?
        Nextgrid 7y ago
        Honestly, no. I'm pretty sure there are plenty of other opportunities out there where you can make money providing a service that people are happy to pay for and that isn't a net negative for society. Your current idea basically means a few people (including you) benefit from it while society at large is now forced to deal with the extra visual pollution produced by these mobile billboards.
