One day I went to a restaurant and they had the same screensaver showing on some of it's TVs but they had these giant billboard ads scrolling by covering parts of the screensaver. That's the day I learned that AdGuard DNS blocks the billboards (not just the ad but the entire billboard). permalink fedilink source parent [–] snooggums@piefed.world 4 points 2 days ago The subtle ones are probably the movie references in the background.
