Please propose a law or regulation structure for significantly reducing or eliminating advertisements. I'm serious. I fucking hate ads. I just don't have a reasonable or effective way to get rid of them.
Edit: Hey actually I just thought of one! If the consumer is paying for the product, it can't come with ads, including things like product placement or ad reads!
In São Paulo, one of the biggest cities of the world, the municipality forbade by law all billboards and building disfiguring 'decorations' some 10 years ago. Since then, the city became much more bearable, aesthetically. Nothing special happened, everybody was happy, except a few bankrupt ads agencies. Maybe, you must be able to imagine that change is possible. However, there is this ideology, Americans seem to be so fond off, that seems to make such things very difficult.
New Jersey also banned billboards. That one is pretty easy and I vote that we should adopt that policy everywhere. It's much harder to control digital adspace, since you can do things like astroturf campaigns and product placement. Great point though! I like that law.
Smart TV manufacturers: "Impossible!"
Ban advertising to minors/for products intended for children
Ban ads/branding visible from roadways to prevent distracted driving
Got a better one: just ban marketing outright
Serve ads inside the ads. It’s more power efficient—kill two birds with one stone?
That's called product placement in a Disney movie
Where does it stop though? Will TV and super bowl still exist?
What about Facebook, the credit bureaus and Twitter? They're all a waste of energy too.
