        In some cities they are, and it’s a beautiful thing. An example is Canberra, Australia.

          I live near Seattle Washington and there are very few here. Pretty much only on Indian Reservations. But last summer I was on a road trip that took me through Salt Lake City Utah and there were SO MANY BILLBOARDS along the interstate there. I can’t believe the people put up with it.

          Wow I did not notice that this was the case. Gotta appreciate this a bit the next time I visit.

        I moved from somewhere with billboards all over the place to somewhere signs over 6 feet tall are illegal

        It’s breathtakingly nicer

        Time for AR where you can replace all those puplic ads with, umm, nsfw art, for example.

        They can be a bit too much, but thanks to a billboard I found out that one of my favorite bands (Morcheeba) are playing in my city.

        No idea then. I use adblock on all of my devices, but sometimes things slip through. And I sometimes click on one of those SEO fake “articles” that are really just ads when I’m searching for something.
