    You can look for display boards, they’re specifically meant for like retail space so don’t come with all the fancy bullshit. Typically cheaper, and you can go pretty large as well.

      I was always under the impression the ad-riddled bullshit was cheaper because it’s subsidized by the sponsoring companies.

        In this day and age, they will charge you as much as they think they can get away, and then double dip with showing you ads, and triple dip with selling your data.

        The “ads subsidize the product” line was real years ago. But as always, it’s never enough.

        Just look at streaming services. They started to show ads or make you pay even more to get rid of ads.

        The line must go up, fuck everyone.

          Fun fact: TVs are pretty much the only product that consistently goes down in price each year.
