Parroting jimkleiber, I like the distinction between advertising in public and private spaces, although I suppose it would be a matter of being adamant that anywhere that isn't in a private building, isn't private space.

> There's not that much physical world advertising in my part of Europe (e.g. almost no road side banners at all), but I still despise how we've sold bus stops and metro walls to the highest bidder

I lived in Germany for a few months and was shocked to see advertisements for cigarettes on the sides of the local buses. I suppose this will be changing in 2022, so a good first step [0].
