- danielbln 1y agoBillboards in the US are wild to me. The craziest, flashiest shit, straight into your eyeballs while you're trying to focus on the road.
- toomuchtodo 1y agoA fun fact is billboards are banned in Vermont, Maine, Hawaii, and Alaska.
- jrvarela56 1y agoIt’s a great example of how ‘the market’ sucks at externalities. We just accepted that you can pay to spam people’s visual field.

- malfist 1y agoThere's now boat billboards that are the same way. Wanna enjoy a nice day at the beach? Too bad, someone parked a boat just offshore blasting a million lumens of alcohol ads straight into your eyeballs
- devmor 1y agoI have seen a couple different videos showing off drone-carried ads in the sky. It's infuriating.
- __MatrixMan__ 1y agoThe market is great at externalities. It's finding new ones to exploit all the time. Not so great for the rest of us though.
- navane 1y agoCan't look at your phone, but look at this!
- goosejuice 1y agoThey have moving ones on cars too.
- dylan604 1y agoLike anything else in life, once you get used to them, you no longer see them.
- noisy_boy 1y agoHaven't seen any giant billboards in Singapore either.
