Every time I see a picture of North Korea I'm left stunned by how much nicer the landscape is to look at without advertising and sleaze covering every corner of the environment.

Funnily enough that's actually one of the reasons so many people feel like there's something off in all the photos, or that it's all fake. Literally no context for what an industrial society without need for constant advertisement looks like.

It's kind of scary realizing how conditioned we are to accept constant the noise of advertising

"place with many screens showing constant advertisements" describes multiple popular tourism locations

Where I live, there's a lot of advertising, but nowhere near as bad as in the US. When I first visited the US, beyond trips to see Dad's brother who lives there, during which we were not there long and all of the children were simply left in the home with some of the adults while others went out, I was astounded at the sheer amount of advertising. I'd never seen giant billboards on the sides of the highway before! Streetside billboards, sure. But not on a highway!

It's kind of funny because people remark on there being heavy-handed propaganda everywhere, and they are kind of correct, but it's way less than the corporate advertising you see in the West and actually has an argument for mostly being for the public good.

If I could replace all corporate propaganda for propaganda that was reminding you to stay healthy and contribute to your community, I'd be happy

"Please stop bringing electric scooters into elevators, here's 10 minutes of security cam footage of them exploding "

This, absolutely. Hell, replace it with the kind of stereotypical commie propaganda the West accuses socialist states of plastering everywhere, that'd still be nicer than corporate slop.

It feels like the moment a leafblower I'd stopped noticing outside suddenly turns off
