This is from an art project in Vienna called Delete!, where they covered everything, which could be seen as ads in the Neubaugasse.

Signs in shopping areas should be limited to one sign as an identifier of the store. Logos should be allowed, but size should be limited--small and near the front door. No advertising of products, no window signs screaming "SALE!", etc. No fucking video signs, or animated signs of any type--no flashing lights, or physically animated signs.

We need signs to find the store, that's the purpose to which they should be limited.

    After going to Seoul for a week and coming back to Berlin, it felt like a breath of fresh air to be in the middle of the city. To be fair, Germany is not immune to ads and there are plenty in Berlin. But at the fucking very least nothing blasts music all day, no flashy strobing led signs en mass on each corner, door, shop or business all around the city.

    Loved Korea. Hated ads.

    Almost all of what is covered there are simply store names. There are many small stores in that street ... Oh, and the sign in the middle, which is covered, is merely spelling out the name of the street.

    This is oddly soothing to think about.

    This aligns with my habit of taking a seam-ripper to any and all logos affixed to clothing. I’ve already paid you for your goods. If you want me to advertise for you, that’s a separate discussion and my rate of pay will first need to be agreed upon.

    We should do this more often, everywhere

    It looks almost tolerable!

    Now let's replace the asphalt with grass and trees and other native flora. And the people with animals.

    It's honestly less covered than I expected.

    They even put ads on their flag in Vienna? This has gotten out of hand!

    That's the only valid use for those crappy meta glasses — hack them, cut them from the internet and install a real life adblock on them. Should be awesome.

    Advertising is more invasive than zebra mussels.

    This would actually be a good use case for AR glasses. Reality Ad Block.

    Instead we get dox creep glasses from meta

    I think it's disingenuous to lump store names in with ads. Yes, they're technically advertising that the store is there, but that's actually useful information.
