Countering the cynicism itt so far, there are indeed places in the world where outdoor advertising has been banned - https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2015/aug/11/can-cities-ki...

People love it. It works. No one wants to go back except for a few 'rare ones'. Somehow, people still manage to spend their money and start businesses - amazing.

I see no reason why the same couldn't be done online, were the political will to suddenly start reflecting the will of the people somehow.

There are many possible implementations, and many rather easy to implement solutions. The virtuous cycles could be incredible.

Thank you, very inspiring. I can't think why I shouldn't start/join a campaign to ban outdoor advertising in my city.

Awesome, I wish you the best of luck with it. I may put actions to my words on this one myself - it would make such a difference here.
