Can't let the homeless people there have a more comfortable surface than the cold hard concrete floor
my first act as president will be to make advertising illegal. apologies to the guy at the gas station who wants to sell me a $5 mix cd but unfortunately all advertising and sales pushing is punishable by a severe bonking and a fine equal to or greater than 200% of yearly revenue, per instance.
Just go all the way and abolish currency at that point imo
Which oval office desk do they keep the Communism Button in?
Its so cool that we're not allowed to spend any money on expanding our mass transit services, but we'll spend a fortune hosting IRL pop-up ads on every available surface.
Caltrain's currently being electrified, buying new trainsets, and planning to massively increase frequency, but normally your point would be correct.

"as a commuter to or from silicon valley, I was not aware Google had a web browser! I'm gonna have to download that." —no one ever
I think it's more territorial pissing than an actual intentional business strategy there.

Exactly how I feel about the giant Twitter and Facebook ads in the subways here
Sometimes I look at photographs of the USSR, just to see cities without brain-drilling ads all over the place.
At this point, I feel like even calling it "tech" is an insult to the idea of technology.
I made this rant before, but where's the actual innovation? Google has no excuse advertising Chrome, something almost everyone under the age of 45 uses. To make matters worse, I begrudgingly admit that Alphabet has done some legitimately cool shit, like look at The Moonshot Factory for example.
I don't need 50 million apps just to take a shit in app-approved toilets in the city, the novelty wore off long ago. Want to innovate? Clean up the ocean, or help usher in high speed rail that would give Japan and Italy a run for their money. Make biotech that can eat up microplastics.
I know they are capable of better, and that's what makes this so frustrating.
Innovating incredible new rent-seeking techniques
I made this rant before, but where's the actual innovation?
Take thing that already exists, privatize it if it's a public service, then add more surveillance and maybe a subscription service. Innovation! 
What if taxis but indentured servitude?
The bad guys won the cold war
I dunno I still see a lot of free space for more advertisements. It's only true capitalist efficiency if literally every square inch of literally every viewable surface everywhere is covered with advertisements. If a human can look away from an ad without seeing another ad then we haven't gone far enough.
Even that's thinking small. Get the ads inside the 
AR glasses 
of the commuters, and then you can target them. Boom--infinite ads in a finite space.
chrome logo on a train looks like something from a sci fi dystopia movie
Amazon proudly presents The Torment Nexus as seen in the hit novel Please Don't Build The Torment Nexus. 
Who is even the target audience for a chome ad. Everyone's already using it unless they have an ideological reason motivating them not to.
Google knows all the firefox users live there and is running these ads just to make us mad.
The purpose of a lot of advertising is to tell consumers who already use the product that they made the right choice. This reinforces brand loyalty and prevents customers from switching products in the future
Car commercials are generally targeted toward people that are already making payments for the car to reinforce the life changing epiphany/identity marker that the purchase represented.
I would have posted something like this months ago but I was kind of worried about the doxxing potential even if I live a bit out of town. Thank you for sharing my pain for me.
worried about potentially doxxing themselves
Immediately afterwards says they live in the surrounding area of SF
Well yeah, but still, taking pictures with my own phone felt like additional risk.
Like famed rapper tekashi 6ix9ine once said, I'm only scared of 2 things in life. First God, and the FBl second
We've already long since killed God and the feds could get me anytime they want to
I want them to put in, like, a few minutes first, okay? 
Hex snitches, telling all their business

Do you see the one true leftist?
Yeah I'm right here!
Fuck around, get the whole comm sent up for years
see you at beaux on friday?
Sure!
The hanging ads mixed with a single USA flag is incredibly fucking funny
I fucking HATE ads
The ads have the same prominence as the US flag (which is basically a corporate logo from way back anyways).
Time to build yourself some spraypaint drones
birthplace of the chatbot that wrote this
-
a chatbot did not write that. Maybe it spat out the art, but that's a little too clever for a chatbot
-
at least they're not calling it "AI"
The public transit I use in the Bay Area mostly has ads about how if a soda can were full of Fentanyl everyone would die. Oh, and PSAs that say that if you use marijuana you’ll never get a job, because it will go on your permanent record.

This kind of shit makes me want the world to burn. Nothing but the mindless clamoring for more wealth accumulation all for the sake of itself. It makes everything feel so meaningless to me.
we need actual railroads
