I dont wanna say the average person is stupid but they make it really difficult to not think so.
Call it illiterate tunnel vision or whatever else youd like, but come one.
Heres some personal examples from work:

  1. big neonsign at the door at eyeheight telling people when the store opens, 1 out of 6 people looks at it the rest doesnt even see it, one once was even mad and blew out the doorglass with a kick.
  2. registers, big neon signs to say "hey douchenozzle, next one this is closed) and even when another worker is waiting and lookin at the person, they still dont get until you loudly talk to them to come to the other one.
  3. god forbid someone needs something in another part of the store, unless you use children level semantics (go to blue line for example) they never find what they looking for.

those are just my personal examples but outside of that you see it seemingly everywhere.

This sounds like real-world banner blindness. Almost all neon signs are ads or usless bling-bling to catch your attention. It’s no wonder people don’t look at them anymore.

Well, did you actually read at least the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article I linked?
