I do consider that similarly bad yes.

  Bad, sure, we both agree. Dystopian has a very specific meaning though. From Cambridge dictionary: relating to a very bad or unfair society in which there is a lot of suffering, especially an imaginary society in the future, or to the description of such a society. I fail to see how one can derive "a very bad or unfair society" and "a lot of suffering" from a QR code in night sky.

    Using a loud and high visibility technology to inject an unignorable advertisement into a natural space is bad. I don't know or care what flavor of bad the dictionary would call it. Dystopian works fine for me. Sorry it doesn't for you I guess.

      You'd have to take an action to view the advertisement, otherwise, it's just dots. I kinda wish all other ads were like that, tbh.

        Wasn't there some sort of video played before the QR code was displayed? Acting as if it's an opt-in experience feels disingenuous.
