I imagine most people hold that opinion. People don't want scribbles on their walls. That's why they hide the crayons from their toddlers.
Our world os covered with pushy stock-photo ads saying "WOW! XYZ for 9.99/month BUY NOW!!!! Yaaaa!!!ヾ(⌐■_■)ノ♪"
What if all those ad spaces became art spaces? Murals would add beauty, culture, and serenity. Honor history, accomplishments, unheard voices, nature, abstract, superheroes, wherever.
So many canvases could be available for us to view.
I'll try and remember this for the what would you to with fuck you money question. I'd rent or buy all ad space and make it art space or put plants on it.
Not everyone likes art. I actually prefer seeing ad space that changes every week than a horribly done art that I would look at everyday passing by
Why would the art have to be static? If ads can change, so can the art.
I don't know where you live but that never happens. Once the wall is painted it's considered an "art piece" and it'll stay until it's washed off after several years.
It never happens where you are so you are upset by the proposition? Situations can change. What is stopping art from working like the ever-changing ads you prefer?
Law. Most art is simply contracted and protected.
Speaking of murals and large installments. Yea. They could stick around a while. We are talking ads.
Anything that is an ad space changes all the time. Instead of seeing a giant billboard telling me about the cost of 4 new tires if I use the holiday deal, it would just be a nice landscape. And instead of an insurance ad next week, it becomes a seascape.
What value would ads add?
Here you may refer to
and find it all by yourself.
And that value goes primarily to the people who view the ads, right? Right?
Both sides have their own pros and cons. You're angry for no reason. Like a true AdBlock user.
I'm not angry. I'm just talking about an idea.
Lol excuses
