It’s everywhere, euro governments are constantly like “we need to preserve our architectonical heritage”, then splurge millions on gentrification projects, then slap those humongous commercials on said architectonical heritage.
Sometimes I see ads in my city from the water department. It just says “drink water, it’s good for you”. It’s not trying to manipulate me or profit off me (other than the pennies they make selling tap water which I don’t even pay for because I live in an apartment complex.
It’s so pleasant seeing “ads” that way. I’d LOOOOOVE to be able to exist and not see any advertising for products.
I would love if billboards and ads were just things like “fun fact of the day” or a bad joke or just little bits of generic health advice like that. Use these public messaging spaces for messages beneficial to the public, or at least fun for them.
