I find it extremely hard to believe that someone would personally want to see more ads.

Do you believe physical advertisements represent that some sort of specific political system is in place?

I really dislike ads and I use adblock & umatrix like crazy. But:

1) Ads in cities are not penis enlargement ads nor mortgage ads. They are about what services are in which location in the city,

2) It's not really about ads, but about advertising in general, meaning you don't even get to show off the logo of your company. If there's a building standing in Cracow, it can't have any logos on it. Unless the company is rich, then it may have their logos. Good thing that Cracow in general doesn't have any tall buildings (well, just one).

For me it's socialism at its finest. Forbid the poor, allow the rich. From ideological stance I prefer seeing ads, because I dislike socialism more than I dislike ads.

Not the case anywhere I have been. Some will be for local businesses, most are for national or international behemoths. Pretty much the same as with ondline ads on so-called respectable sites.
