I just want Haagen Dazs ice cream. But I cannot see which freezer it is actually in until the ad stops, then it states it is in this particular freezer. But it isn't because they ran out and an employee hasn't restocked. Next the doors on the freezer will lock until the ad has finished playing all the way through, and the ad will stop playing if you look away in distraction. Also, the gas will stop pumping if you don't look at ad on the screen on the pump at the gas station and you must also verbally engage with the ad when it asks a question otherwise it stops pumping. If you answer enthusiastically it will waive the $2 surcharge because you had the audacity to use a debit card. I am so glad I am getting old and will die soon so I don't have to live in this dystopian hellhole the new generation are creating for us.

It's not enough to put up with the hell world you live in, you must like it too.

All this advertising shit needs to so desperately be banned for everyone's mental health but the country would probably lose its fucking mind if anyone tried, so the boring hellscape will just grind on getting worse.

  Very true, browsing websites without AdBlock is already horrendous we can't allow it to bleed into the real world. We need to clamp down on ads with legal regulations, everything good is slowly ruined by them. Humans should have the right to live ad free as much as possible.

    It already bled into reality. Look at this pic: https://l450v.alamy.com/450v/2g8fn09/an-mta-digital-advertising-display-at-the-entrance-to-the-23rd-st-station-in-chelsea-in-new-york-is-seen-vandalized-on-saturday-july-10-2021-richard-b-levine-2g8fn09.jpg https://l450v.alamy.com/450v/2g8fn09/an-mta-digital-advertis... It's an MTA customer information billboard in NY: 5% information, 95% advertisement. On this %5 useful space, they have to roll different arrivals, because it is too small to show them all at once. I really wish to the ones, who designed this, to have a lot of money they have to spend on medications.
