So I am standing during rush hour today on a busy subway platform, and over the loudspeaker you hear a 10-second audio ad about the new Indiana Jones movie along with the music and everything.

I understand the MTA needs to make some revenue, but yikes this has gone a little bit too far. It’s a fairly loud and disruptive. I hope this is only an experiment and not to stay.

    This is just a stopgap until they figure out how to beam it directly into your brain.

    I’ve haven’t heard one of these yet, but with how undecipherable the real announcements usually are, why would anyone pay for an advertisement that you can’t even understand‽ Even the covid era mask up announcements were mostly garbled noise.
