For me it is when companies/services market themselves as donating to XYZ cause if I buy their product. If they want to donate, they should have already done that with the money they have. Asking me to give them profit so that they can donate is so obviously pretentious.

I hate Billboards.

I don't just hate them, but I'd straight up make them illegal. At least next to roads. They are specifically meant to get the attention of drivers. How can that be allowed?

If we used billboards for something like missing children or traffic announcements etc I'd be okay with that. But pretty much no actual ads for products. Billboards are a driving distraction and I don't approve.

I am okay with some billboards that advertise services that are relevant to motorists, such as fuel, food or lodging near the road.

I think Washington state has outlawed them except for things like safety signs and I think that’s great.

This is from like 15 years ago, so maybe it’s not true anymore.
