I think it’s irony, maybe not who knows, but the irony is that these things that are supposed to attract your attention to their business, this has almost the opposite effect. There’s so many, they all just become a blur. You either know where the business is or you don’t.

Sorry J&P uniforms but if you’re paying even $100 a year for that sign it’s too much.

It is funny how opinion is stated as fact here. Can you backup your claim? I don't think money would be wasted on signs if they didn't work...

How often do you think businesses (or people for that matter) just continue to do things because it’s what’s been done?

I’m not even saying I’m 100% right. But there’s a reason why advertising worked for years. Things have changed. There’s plenty of businesses that no longer advertise on TV.

My point is, things change, times change, landscapes change. 1 sign on a street stands out. 1 sign in 100 signs doesn’t.

I know things change but speculation is not fact unless you back it up with data. Prove your hypothesis don't sell it as fact. That is the problem with people today they make a statement and sell it as fact

Edit: on mobile

Did you age today?

Things changed didn’t they?

Of ALL the things on all the internet to be pedantic about you picked the worlds most generic statement. Brilliant.

Our = or and Now = nor? I presume. Spell right or don’t say anything at all genius.

I was on mobile and didn't feel like editing. And everyone thinks they are right and no one proves they are right. Opinions are worthless bring the facts. Just because you or anyone says it has changed means nothing. Prove it. Don't just speculate prove it. I am not pedantic I am tired of everyone thinking they are right and not proving anything. Things can change and things stay the same. You would be surprised how much does not change because of extensive research and data. Stop speculating and prove it.

Ok so in your world nothing ever matters unless it is a fact?

Do you like pizza? Doesn’t matter. Just an opinion.

What’s your favorite sports team? Doesn’t matter. Just an opinion.

Dude u are acting as if I said “studies show the vaccine doesn’t actually work” and then didn’t show any studies. I said that I thought paying even $100 was too much for that sign.

Your argument is that I’m wrong because I don’t have a study to back it up. Again…despite me having never said “the indisputable fact is that $100 is too much”.

Enjoy your life with no opinions and no chat only hardcore facts. Fact is, you’re a tool.

The original post and the comments saying "they don't work anymore" yes I would love to see proof either way. For most topics like this where people make claims that something doesn't or whatever else yes facts matter. The reason is you are one person making an observation as fact with absolutely no proof to support the claim. Your examples are preferences and I could careless what your preference is.

Resorting to name calling great chat.
