    Pumps at Westfalen stations in Germany promote their own payment app, and sometimes snacks in their stores. But no audio, and only adds in pics on the screens.

      Yeah I’ve seen those types of ads, although only as a sticker or poster by the pump

      Seems like companies these days would force ads into our dreams if they could

      Here, US, I have seen ones that create fake “news” clips that are just pro-petro-industrial propaganda, not just ads. Like I saw one that claimed that solar energy actually releases more greenhouse gasses than “contemporary” petroleum fuels.

        Saw one waxing poetically about how good fracking is.

        My favorite ads I’ve seen are ones that play videos about basic traffic laws.

        “When you’re out driving, remember, it’s illegal to pass on a double yellow line! It’s the law!”
