I saw a billboard a year or two ago when they banned cigarette ads, or tried to at this point. The billboard said something like: if cigarette ads get banned, saussages could be next, be careful what you vote for.

It blew my mind because all i could think off was: good, thank you. Ban them all. What kind of person goes NoooOoOoo not my ads.

I would like ads in the context of places where I'm looking for a good or service, or where volunteering such information would be potentially beneficial to me. Things like voluntarily signing up for specific advertising emails or related products on a store page. Ads should serve people, not manipulate them and clutter up the town.

Also as long as we're still doing capitalism, I really like being able to get things for free in exchange for viewing ads. It makes things much more available to us poors.
