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…

    Don’t buy gas from places that do this. Hasn’t failed me yet and if more people did it maybe they’ll stop.

      They’d just blame millennials for ruining buying gas and double down on the ads.

          Yup. The “free” market says that if everyone does the same shit, you have no choice, and they still make more money.

            If a company’s being smart, deviating from the universal enshittification will earn them market share.

              They will get the market share of us few weirdos who haven’t just accepted this shit. They will lose out on advertising revenue, have to charge more for gas, and will go out of business.

                And that ad revenue is probably significant. While consumers of commodities don’t really have much selection.

      As you are able I’d highly recommend going electric. Then you don’t even have to go to gas stations. If you’re able to charge at home (which I’m aware many are not) it’s even better because anytime you leave the house you can have a full tank.
