Anyone who's played Cyberpunk 2077 might remember the big ads projected into the sky above the city. It adds a really cool dystopian atmosphere to the game.

In real life it would be a nightmare come true.

It's not theoretical, look up Candy Crush New York.

They can start going all out with regular ad programming over tier 1 cities many times each day almost as soon as they find themselves able to get away with it.

It's will be regular within a few years if we let it.

If we could get cybernetic implants I'd take it. Too bad the only thing we'll get is higher rent, lower pay, and ads in the sky.
