TLDR; screen ads in places like elevators where people are forced to wait, steal our attention without offering anything in return (ie a tv show or web service)

How does a person counteract these kind of ads? Localized EMP? SUPER meditation? wearing blinders or headphones?

@amy I read read stuff on my phone and desperately avoid making eye contact with other humans.

Oh you mean just in the elevator?

@keats I'm surprised by how you don't bump into stuff.

@amy when I was a kid, I used to walk the 3 1/2 miles to school and back while reading books. I got very good at not running into things. https://toot.cafe/media/p-RlrEZQIiW7Ja5JUEg
