Just make a list of advertisers who actually advertise in these, and actively avoid & shame them. It is fair that they try new things out, but the problem is, when the consumers accept them.

I saw this on Lenny about Jeeps. I asked someone sitting in a new Jeep if she got ads when she came to a stop and she said no. So now I wonder if there is something about the trim level or something. She said it was 1 year old. Maybe this just started.
They could also just be A/B testing shit to see how much backlash they get.
Some day every surface we look at will have advertising on it. Some Day.
This offends me to the core. Stellantis has made my shit list, and I will never purchase any product they are involved in. EVER !
Like the ridiculous subscription mouse a few months back, I'd be willing to bite with the right incentives, but those aren't incentives the manufacturer is going to be OK with. I'd take a car with ads, so long as it was sufficiently discounted compared to a normal car. And then I'd look up how to disable the ads.
Before starting the engine please watch this 30 second unskippable ad
Probably for bail bondsmen
They picked some good frogs to test this on
Well let's just wait for the next "hacarthon" and see who can play DOOM on the pop-up first.
