I wonder what Times Square would look like without the ads.
Looks better
Original for comparison:
Without the ads, it looks clean, modern, and impressive. It's something to be proud of.
But this...this is depressing. It's just useless noise telling you what to buy. There's no hope in this. Only loss.
Why would you wonder that? Manhattan is huge, and 95% of it isn't Times Square.
It'd be weird and I think the ads are part of the attraction for tourists these days since they're so recognizable on a photo
Some would like it less, but it's still the hub of the theater district
