1985 looks pretty cool in some ways.
It's like Milan was intentionally attempting to create a sight like Times Square.
But then they realised emulating that wasn't a good fit, and leaning into the history they did have was much better.
I wonder what Times Square would look like without the ads.

Milan vs Milan with uBlock
The architect must have been rolling in their grave.
Oof. It's like a nice stately gentleman, with a huge Bass Pro Shops logo tattooed to his forehead. Much better now.
They took the ads off buildings and put them on all your digital devices instead.

Probably the only thing that got less ads over time, incredible
Funny. The exact opposite is happening at Rådhuspladsen.
Ads everywhere vs ads everywhere BUT
I kind of dig it with all the ads. Like aesthetics wise. Just looks like a plain old building now. Just my opinion though.

I like 1985 better. 2025 seems so dull and sad
replies:
Clearly an ad for Milan
Obviously ad block makes a difference but if you turn it off of use someone else's computer it's so bad now
