People see pictures of North Korea and say "wow its so eerie something is wrong and i cant figure it out."
Its that there are no ads everywhere. People are conditioned to be comforted by disengeuous promises from ads, and are scared when there arent business signs everywhere.
Its entirely achievable to have no ads. Ads are bad for everyone.
Trust me that's not the reason
Vermont and Maine have banned billboard ads. It doesn't feel like North Korea.
That sounds awesome! :o :D
Yeah, ads are the reason people in NK are starving.
