  Online ads are hard to ignore specifically because they use system resources to display - especially when they're JavaScript-heavy, but even without JS they still often entail image downloads and such that do add up. Billboards ain't really analogous; obnoxious lighting notwithstanding, they're no more obtrusive than a building or a tree or a sculpture or anything else that might exist on some plot of land - and while I'd personally prefer to see a building or tree or sculpture, I don't feel strongly enough about there being a billboard instead to desire outright criminalization (read: use of violence by the state in response) of billboards entirely.
