Idk if this is the right instance for this, but how fucking tired of these forced ads at gas pumps is everyone else?

I’m paying 4 bucks a gallon to have you shove advertising down my throat like an erect cock?

What the actual fuck

Anyone have any good ad blocking practices for this?

I’ve seen duct or painters tape covering the speakers…

You can press a button next to the screen to mute it, but this doesn’t work at all gas stations. (Usually its the 2nd from the top on the right side)

I guess its just time to gettoblast music every time I pump gas like back when I was 19…

    I’m so used to it at this point thag the thought of it not being there is weird. To give you the hellish picture, gas pumps in the US have like 10in screens on them. They are usually off, but as soon as you make a payment or start pumping gas, they kick on and start playing loud obnoxious advertisements. My brain is so used to this shit that it’s just background noise now. I’m sure there’s got to be some kind of psychological side effects of being barraged with ads all the time. I’m sure studies have found that it leads to more consumerism, and in that case, it’s working.
