Idk if this is the right instance for this, but how fucking tired of these forced ads at gas pumps is everyone else?
I’m paying 4 bucks a gallon to have you shove advertising down my throat like an erect cock?
What the actual fuck
Anyone have any good ad blocking practices for this?
I’ve seen duct or painters tape covering the speakers…
You can press a button next to the screen to mute it, but this doesn’t work at all gas stations. (Usually its the 2nd from the top on the right side)
I guess its just time to gettoblast music every time I pump gas like back when I was 19…
I avoid those stations i know have ads, and if surprised… i’m happy to know of the hidden mute button.
Me too. I let my $$ speak for me.
Your money is the squeak of a mouse against the thunderclap of advertising money.
If they lose a couple weirdos like us but get to sell eyeballs, they’ll do it.
If necessary it’ll be active resistance from me.
Sadly, it doesn’t always seem to exist.
In that case I reward the one that did the thing last.
For instance, when Safeway removed my ability to mute the self checkout instructions, I stopped shopping there and only went to King Soopers.
KS decided to also remove the mute option, but I’m still loyal to them because fuck Safeway for moving first on that.
Voting with your money sounds about as effective at influencing things as actual voting.
