> If the billboards were all about driving-related products
Well, I don't complain about road signs.

That value still needs to be compared and evaluated for delivering information vs delivering annoyance. If information were delivered by giant, flashing, multicolored road signs every 50 meters the answer would be different. My 2c.
Road signs are relevant so we dont complain about them despite being an ugly eyesore.
While relevance has some correlation to value, that correlation is pretty weak; it is easy to find examples of high relevance and very negative value. We should not conflate those.
Your opponent (with whom I agree) argued that the problem with most YT ads and billboards is negative value. Which will stay even if google makes them relevant. My 2c.
Regardless, we all agree: roadsigns are ugly but ok, billboards are just plain bad.
