I often find myself coming back to this piece from Sean Tejaratchi which was partly stolen by Banksy – https://web.archive.org/web/20120314093434/http://www.readin...
Minor anecdote: During the pandemic a lot of the billboards and bus stops around me suddenly didn't have advertisements plastered on them any more, and it made my daily commute a lot calmer. No longer were sudden blobs of highly saturated colours and popping text dragging my attention away from me, and I'd do a lot of things to have that back. At least AdBlock is a thing in the digital domain.
