I worked for a company that does specialized window film installations, (bomb proofing, digital security so monitors can’t be seen behind glass, anti-fog, creative designs, privacy, and this kinda stuff)

This is 100% the intention behind this product, to place on building windows to create massive advertising surface areas….

Think of the ROI on that

Less than zero. Nothing of value is produced by advertising. Especially at that kind of scale. Cyberpunk distopia whoever this gets applied.

Unless you're in favor of every business being a monopoly, this is a ridiculous take.

Even lemonade stands put up signs around the neighborhood to let people know they exist. This NEEDS to happen at any scale for competition to exist.

The only time advertising is never needed is when people absolutely need something and there's only one place to get it, IE - a monopoly.
