Don’t forget the entire internet, newspapers, telephone listings, radio, television, movies, video games, every surface of a store, public spaces like parks and sidewalks, and probably your dreams in the near future

Advertising is cancer and it destroys anything that tolerates it for even a moment. An industry with zero ethics or morals. If you work in advertising you’re a disgusting scumbag piece of shit and your parents are ashamed. No amount of money is worth it and the world would be objectively better without you in it.

    I think like pretty much every industry, it will push whatever the boundaries of legality are to maximize profit. I think advertising in particular has none of the public interest guardrails that every other industry has. I think I could be cool with advertising as a concept if there were actual limits.

    I'm pretty sure in my lifetime someone is going to somehow put an advertisement on the surface of the moon and the world will collectively and righteously lose thier shit. Why wait?
