Well, perhaps event promotion is fine. But I wouldn&#x27;t shed a tear if product advertising was banned in practically all its forms.<p>You could argue that movies are products but at least movies have a short lifespan so their promotion is time-limited. I guess you could argue that bands and sporting events and such-like are products too. But I&#x27;m okay with &quot;music_performance_x&#x2F;sporting_event_y&#x2F;movie_z&#x2F;theatrical_performance_w is coming to venue_v from time_t1 to time_t2&quot; type promotions :)<p>There&#x27;s an advertising hoarding&#x2F;billboard on top of the opera house in the city where I&#x27;m from. For a car company. Been like this for as long as I remember. Permanent blot on the city-scape. Permanent eye-sore. Makes me dislike the opera house as a venue because of it. Yuck.<p>I disapprove of billboards in general and most forms of outdoor advertising. I&#x27;m not against personal recommendations and location-based promotion.<p>I&#x27;m sick of having my attention grabbed while consuming media, while browsing the web, while walking or driving. I install ad-blockers on whichever device I can. I keep TV viewing to a minimum and am continually put off by the sheer volume of ads and their vacuity.<p>I do listen to the radio a lot, I hate the ads on radio less, you can sort of tune them out. Visual ads I guess I hate the most.
