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…

    One of the gas stations by my house does something similar but actually cool. They show about 2 minutes of sports highlights from the night before (think SportsCenter Top 10 but also with scores) and then some non-political news headlines.

    I actually stand there watching the whole time. They get my business.

      Glad that you enjoyed the content, but that would be hell for me; Idgaf about sports. If I am so unlucky to end up at a station with these, I try to mute asap.

        That’s a fair criticism. I guess I was just thinking it’s better than ads, but not if you don’t enjoy sports.
