Hawaii has a long standing law that prohibits billboards and large advertisements on buildings, structures, etc. It's glorious! You're not bombarded with huge advertisements on the side of buildings--instead you have beautiful murals painted on the side of them. Then when I travel to the US mainland, it's sensory overload because there's billboards and huge ads everywhere. Lol.
It's one thing to finance something you provide for free with advertising - it's quite another to use advertising to destroy a free experience you didn't provide by monetizing it.
It's not bad, kinda cool seeing a massive TV screen floating on blue water like that.. they're not allowed to just go back and forth constantly. You see it once ever hour or so at the most. I'm guessing that's South Miami Beach.
It's funny how in so many futuristic cities made in games and movies there's just a shitload of ads everywhere.. it's like that is actually coming true in real life.
Or go out for a nature walk to see animals genetically modified to have advertisements on them (an idea proposed by a businessman in one of Michael Crichtons books)

It’s up to the individual to go electric and purchase an EV. Yet that thing just cruises back and forth drinking diesel and polluting more than 100 cars would in an hour. Corpo’s man. Lol
I understand the point of ads is spread awareness about the products existence and get new customers but when you shove your ads in peoples faces all day - ads for things people KNOW exist. Like Wendy’s or Google all that does is make me super resentful of that company and product . I’ll go somewhere else from pure spite I don’t even care.
can you guys enlighten me on what happens when salt water comes in contact with LED panels, not that I'm encouraging any form of vandalism, just wondering what would happen if you guys know what I mean
Disgusting. I’m in NJ and they fly the banners by up and down the beach all summer long. ANYONE who advertises that way I purposely wouldn’t EVER spend my money there.
Uggg…. We have these near where I live. It’s absolutely disgusting. Completely ruins the experience. The planes flying the banners have always been a thing, and while I don’t appreciate them, they aren’t nearly as intrusive as these things. A few months back one of them sank at its dock. It made me smile.
I really think we need to do something to reduce advertising. There are waaaaaay too many ads on everything now. Hell if you buy a Japanese dirt bike many of them are covered in product ads.
One of my favorite things to do is just chill with a nice joint at the beach and watch the waves come and go for hours. This pisses me off, can’t even escape ads anymore.
They’re absolutely should be a law passed against that

It is florida, the law will be to prevent you from complaining about it and also to make it harder for black people to vote.
Laws Prohibiting certain means of Advertisement
May I present to you the
Yeah, along with those trucks with massive screen rolling at low speed.
Billboards are illegal in Alaska for pretty much this reason.
Wait until you hear about advertising in space.
As long as the same laws apply to the digital space as well.
OK maybe that's taking too far
Imagine not being able to find a plumber or mechanic or a doctor because no one advertised… the irony
There’s already too many damn laws and rules everywhere we go.
Why? Isnt it the same as those planes flying with ads behind them?
It's one thing to finance something you provide for free with advertising - it's quite another to use advertising to destroy a free experience you didn't provide by monetizing it.
This is so infuriating I would go out of my way to avoid whatever is being advertised. I'm sure many others feel the same.
This has been a thing since as long as I can remember, just with planes instead of boats. This is much uglier than the airplanes imo tho
Shoot at it.
Submarine practice.
Why do we even have a navy if they can’t send a few torpedoes at that thing?
Unironically though, how does anyone expect this to just... be accepted.
Fucken ads, man.
Fucking corpos man....
Get premium, only for the rich though.
This is where you start chucking rocks.
And by "chucking rocks", I assume you mean RPGs.
I was thinking a wrist rocket and marbles should do the trick
An air rifle would take that thing right out.
Calling for violence is against the rules on Reddit. I hope you get banned for that.
Whoever thought this up is going to hell
And whoever posted it to Reddit is giving them 1000x campaign ROI.
Get a smart lawyer and go for visual pollution being out of context with the environment.
Never heard of this but I support it 100%
I want to know where that is...so I can stay the fuck away.
Apparently it's only in Miami.
There were a ton in Destin too.

One day it’ll happen when you want to go out and see the sky only to be covered with sky ads

Leela: Didn't you have ad's in the 20th century?
Ew gross
Happy cakeday tho
Happy cake day
Happy cake day buddy

Next thing - 'unlock sun for 9.99 a month.'
BUY SHIT! BUY SHIT! BUY SHIT! BUY SHIT! BUY SHIT! BUY SHIT! CONSOOOOOM, DON'T THINK ONLY BUY. COMSOOOOOOOOOM. BUY MORE, BUY NOW, BUY! BUY! BUY!
Can I be paid more money to help me consume more?
That's so gross.
No, capitalism is good. Abuse of capitalism is gross.
Imma get my rpg and destroy it
Sink that fucking abomination!
I thought I was on
Shit like this makes me want to buy your product less
This beach view was brought to by raid shadow legends!
"Only in Miami"... Except also in Maryland and Delaware :/
That's a good deal, though
"that's awful!, it's like brain-washing" - Fry
Dystopian nightmare am I right?
That is absolutely vile.

Isn’t that considered visual pollution?
Pretty fkn dystopion..
If we start attacking the most unwanted ad delivery systems they'd stop showing up. We can fight back
This sucks
That is absolutly fucked
Whose she calling anyways?
The beach manager
Surely that’s too close to shore and some kind of hazard? Also what companies would be okay putting their advertising in something like this?
I think that this is exactly how far away it should be. I could probably swim out that far. I could break it. It’d be worth it. So worth it.
wait until Elon finishes his space billboards
Bienvenidos a Miami
Are you serious???? 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
SINK IT
You think someone would be able to smash that screen with a golf ball from the beach?
Getting harder and harder to be left alone. Can't pump gas with GD commercials blaring at you.
cyberpunk
That's some Cyberpunk shit right there
I saw this same boat cruising by last month and thought the same thing. Now I’m not a rabid anti capitalist… but this is a bit much.
I’d boycott any company that advertises in such a way.
Irony is this was a tiktok
God that is infuriating ... you can't even appreciate nature without an ad flashing across your view
Even the Beach has ads now 😂😂 fuck this world sucks
can you guys enlighten me on what happens when salt water comes in contact with LED panels, not that I'm encouraging any form of vandalism, just wondering what would happen if you guys know what I mean
Florida has reached terminal capitalism. Time to cut it off.
What, you guys don’t have airplanes with ads flying over the beach?
Ah yes, let me buy Earth Premium so I don't have to deal with this bullshit
How do we combat this? Seriously. What guerrilla shit can we do here?
Lawyers. With a smart lawyer it can be fought.
How many times "only in Miami" was reposted ?
I’ve got scuba gear, a speargun, and a 12 gauge powerhead that would take care of that problem. In and out without a sight.
Disgusting.
Unique way in which the BBC is funded.
That's just a fad. You're the facepalm here. -Some Facebook dad who uses reddit for some reason
Can’t have shit in Miami.
Relevant
And I can’t even enjoy reddit due to the same content being posted over and over again; just like that floating add.
Soon they will push this shit direct in brains.
🙄OMGoodness..[ my thoughts are with those who have to look at that! ]
Just shoot it down
Next level advertising 🤣 is that really worth it though? If I was in the beach i'd be too relaxed or too busy to even pay attention to that
This is around the whole gulf coast
And every idiot on Tiktok shares it so it works out great for marketing.
Dont give them ideas
In New Jersey we have advertisement blimps at the beach
Idiocracy was a documentary.
Hans, get the sub
OBEY. CONSUME. CONFORM.
So glad I live in a state with the sense to ban billboards.
Ain’t just Miami, anywhere there’s a beach now. We got these in Ocean City, MD for a long time now.
I would swim to it and fucking annihilate that thing
It’s Miami. Trashy begets trashy.
That could be considered psychological warfare....
One of the many benefits of late stage capitalism
That's utter bullshit. BB gun!!
Reminds me of how back in the day, Pepsi wanted to display their logo on the moon.
This looks distopian. Cant run away from ads, not even in the water.
Next will be ads in my
Despicable.
That’s hideous & should be illegal.
Didn't you have ads in the 20th century?
Sink. The. Battleship.
That’s very sad
Learn to love this dystopian hell scape!
I live by the beach in Florida and I’ll tell you the billboards are way less annoying than people who blast their shitty music at the beach.
If one of these fucking things show up where I go, I'm buying a damn RPG.

Florida USA for sure

They've had this thing floating in Ocean City for like ten years. They've been flying planes with banners all my life.
Fuck that
Disgusting. I’m in NJ and they fly the banners by up and down the beach all summer long. ANYONE who advertises that way I purposely wouldn’t EVER spend my money there.
Gotta pay for Ocean+ , no ads and .00000000000005% less pollution
They exist in Ocean City Maryland too. So not only in Miami
Zoom out bruh
I laughed way too hard at this
Someone didn’t spend $0.99 on the no ads micro-transaction smh.
You can't artificially entice people into going to 7/11, they have to just happen to want to stop there as they drive by.
Uggg…. We have these near where I live. It’s absolutely disgusting. Completely ruins the experience.

I'm sure we'll all be seeing giant holographic ads in the sky soon enough
Jersey shore has sky signs.
This is when u pay for a mini tsunami that stops as soon as that boat tumbles ovet.. this is just disgusting
Had I witnessed that I'd have swun to this mother fucker and set it on fire.
Hold up, y'all don't got life premium?? No ads. /s
There are many worse things to see at the beach in Miami.
I guess beaches have premium subscriptions to go ad free now
....and the Jersey Shore.
"The industrial revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race."
Boooooo
Deploy RPG
Welp, next stop California
We have those in Stockholm as well. So, sad to say it's not only in Miami.
We are living in the movie idiocracy
So fucked.
I hate violence but that would make me long for a grenade launcher.
Florida does his but instead of boats on the water it’s planes. A bit better since you can never even read the ad anyways
We’ve always had that in some form. I always loved watching sky ads from small planes.
Capitalism. It just fucking sucks the life and fun out of everything.
I really think we need to do something to reduce advertising. There are waaaaaay too many ads on everything now. Hell if you buy a Japanese dirt bike many of them are covered in product ads.
Cringe, but genius.
I wouldn’t buy the shit just on principle.
Looks within rock throwing range. Dumb mob mentality could be something useful to exploit sometimes.
Ads everywhere
Shoot it
One of my favorite things to do is just chill with a nice joint at the beach and watch the waves come and go for hours. This pisses me off, can’t even escape ads anymore.
Wait until they put them in space. Yes, seriously there are plans to do that.
Ocean City has this problem too. It sucks.
Also in Jersey!
Dunk in deez nuts
The Jersey Shore has both boat based ads like one shown here plus plane after plane flying by in a loop dragging a banner with more ads.
