I hate ads so fucking much. They've almost never convinced me to buy something, and the more I see any one ad, the less I want to buy the fucking product. They're a waste of my time, a waste of the company's money, and a waste of the creators' efforts. You could've spent those resources on AMYTHING else, much less something productive, but instead you use it to remind me that your product that I don't want exists. Now nobody's happy, except whatever company you paid to smear your shit on their wall. Well done.
Side note, but I also live in NYC, and I hate how one of our biggest tourist attractions is literally just a glorified ad board that constantly burns enough energy to power 160,000 homes EVERY FUCKING DAY
