I will 100% uninstall when I see this.

Their analytics need to see how little time it takes me to uninstall. I’ll fucking pull over and uninstall mid trip. I am a psycho against ads. I’ll call the AG and say it caused me to get in an accident.

Fuck ads. Fuck any company that forces them down your throat.

Fuck. Ads.

Fuck. I’m mad now.

My brother in arms! lol

Was just having a conversation last week when the subject of roadside billboards came up, the other guy says to me that he reads every single one of them when he’s driving. I tell him when I look at billboards the only think I think about is how much fun it would be to cut them down and set them on fire. Dude looked at me like I had a dick growing out of my forehead.

I can’t say that I can agree with you more.

A new bright as FUCK billboard was put up on a frequent road I travel. I want it GONE and the people responsible for it to just die.

It’s seriously a hazard at night…

This screens fade so fast.

Call them up and say it’s already looking dimmer. Repeat monthly. You could gaslight them into thinking it’s dying fast. And those things aren’t cheap.

Start a nonprofit to buy up billboard space that just reads “this billboard is so bright that it will literally kill you.”

So, when we drive up to Georgia or South Carolina from Florida, there’s a point on I-75 where the Jesus billboards come out. Many of them are the usual “Babies have heartbeats” variety, but there’s also the following:

  • “Have you decided yet … Jesus” which we always render in an exasperated voice, aka “OMG have you decided yet? Jesus!”
  • “Go ahead, let go. I’ll catch you - Jesus” which we always respond to with “WTF Jesus just reach down and grab me, you’re RIGHT THERE!”
  • “Jesus is in control” with mysterious Russian tanks and American soldiers.
  • Zombies and Jesus for … reasons.

Brothers from another mother… I fight ads daily … Been pretty lucky I stay away from TV. They keep trying, really all it’s done lately is forced me to go foss for most of my apps.

My Brothers / Sisters from other misters, I have been successfully avoiding ads for around 2/3 years and wow, no regrets. Talk about a war worth fighting, life is better without. This new in-navigation ad felt specifically made for folk like us, who are almost unreachable for marketing. I did some FOSS car navigation today. Bye Gmaps :)

I’m not even against ads, because their little blurbs about a mcdonalds nearby on the map - eh. fine.

This shit though, that pops up and distracts me while I’m driving? Nah fuck that, I’ll get rid of google maps over it

Yep. I might buy a fucking beater vehicle just to insure and subsequently softly careen into a boulder as soon as that shit occurs.

Make Google fucking liable for forcing content on me. Fuck them.

They most likely won’t let you. Also Google android is spyware so I use Lineage OS with F-droid apps
