I had this idea , a long time ago , my thinking was that e inks don't actually require energy to store data , so effectively we could use e inks for advertisement and only change them when needed , effectively being the best of both worlds ie. less energy cost / carbon emissions and more cost effective / removing the labour aspect of removing / putting up bill boards

Advertisements are a fundamental part for a company. Depending on the type of company , it would still make sense for bill boards to be put out.

Hot take , but advertising onlines are a threat to security unlike bill boards , most online ads actively try to promote malware simply because of how easy it is to create an ad (google ads , more like yeh you can promote your spyware for homebrew by paying us a buck or two from the money you scam by your infoware)

I also don't like ads , simply because they don't understand me. But some do , there are many ads from my country that I & many others do.

see this , an ad for bike in indian economy

Try to guess the number of views , seriously , I am talking to anybody reading this , to genuinely try to guess the number of views for a video whose length is exactly 1 minute.

Its 8.3 Million

Some people compare it to be a better song than many cinema movies songs for which you go to and pay with your cash

This ad is by Jindal , I got this in my recommended , yes a ad as a video shoved in my recommended.

Some commentors comment how they saw this ad in their movie cinema before the start of movie. And they said , that they felt that the movie they spent on the cinema was already worth it because of this ad alone!

This has 20 Million Views !

I am sure that many american / other countries also have such advertising. But I don't like apple like advertising / bland .

Maybe its just me , but I like the old style so much more. Filled with emotions and art , yet it doesn't cross a line of being over. It just fits in perfectly.

I am 16 years old and though I don't use twitter , though I don't use facebook / I was never in the time for my space.

I still feel nostalgic for that era. I like how old twitter looks. I like how myspace functioned. In fact I created an account on spacehey just for that.

I like the old style liked videos , square box , it makes me feel as part of something greater , a bit nostalgic.

Also just remembered hamara bajaj ad which is also really nice.

from the hero splendor ad that I linked in first link

Tu hai toh main hu aur manjilo ka ghar aana chalta rahe

A very rough english translation would be

You are therefore I am , and let the dreams come to our house. Lets keep going.

It captures emotions perfectly.

I have spent 15 minutes writing this post & I have no regrets.

Thanks for reading.
