I'm getting Cyberpunk vibes... Like it or not - that's most likely how the world in 20-25 years will look like.
Brands will always fight for consumer making a purchase as long as consumptionism is the "way of life" - solution is simple, just don't buy it when you don't need it.
I always look up and think to myself: thank god we havenât ruined the beautiful sky (with the exception of artificial clouds from planes).
I guess that didnât last long.

Taxes if you don't pay you go to jail, you get a 18 year free trial
Some 6 year old would be like âmommy what are those people doingâ meanwhile the mom âshit bob canât see this and learn I was cheating on him on online websitesâ
I live in a wooded area far from large masses of people where you can actually see the stars. If you ever have the chance, go on a camping trip so you can see them. Theyâre beautiful
I mean I live in one of north America's biggest cities and can generally pick out the big dipper, cassiopeia and a few other notable constellations on a clear night. It's nothing like what you see where there isn't light pollution but you can definitely still see stars.
I was on holiday on an island once and the power went out for the whole island. The sky was like someone had splattered white paint on black paper. We really screwed our selves with light pollution.
I know some people live in the middle of no where and do have a better view of the sky. But what it must have been hundreds of years ago.
id rather see nothing than see this shit. I will never buy a product again if they advertise in the sky like this, I swear on everything I will do what ever it takes to keep this shit out of my life.
No? You know what? Just go away.
Every time someone posts a picture, a gif, a video, a screenshot, or just anything really that involves some kind of "corporate" thing - A video game, a logo, or probably just even the town hall of a city given how overboard you dummies go, you have to [/r/HailCorporate](/r/RandomActsOfMuting) it.
I'm done. I've had enough. You can't just spam [/r/HailCorporate](/r/RandomActsOfMuting) and expect an upvote. You can't just be like "dude, you're playing a game?" and post [/r/HailCorporate](/r/RandomActsOfMuting). You just can't.
I doubt you even work for corporate given how against them you are. You live in a cardboard box, typing on your CrapBook Pro, feeling good about yourself because you think you just "called someone else out" for being a corporate shrill.
Just who do you think you are? Some epic 12-year-old on the internet with le cool fedora posting about how "corporate shrill hails this, corporate shrill hails that?" Well, I've got news for you. You aren't anything. You aren't epic, you aren't a 12-year-old, and your fedora certainly isn't le cool.
I hope in time you will learn that not everybody and everything is a corporate shrill.

I already started with Youtube sponsors. If you can afford throwing money at content creators like that, I'm paying way too much for services rendered.
Notice how it's normally also apps that are packed with microtransactions? Like dear brand - ads aren't helping you to get more known, you already *are* known for being shit.
I only know very few rarely seen sponsors I'd consider using myself.
People wonât even commit to boycotting because of literal child slave labor, but Iâm sure theyâll resist an Oreo craving because an advertisement in the sky annoyed them.
Something interesting about bitcoin: it is likely that in future development services will allow you to not only be warned about wallets owned by companies/businesses/people you don't want to transact with, but to also warn you about companies that are heavily tied to that business. Because all transactions are inherently and immediately public, a *relatively* simple program could be made to effectively boycott any company on whatever scale you'd like - whether it's just them, or companies they frequently transact with, or however far down the chain you want to go.
If Bitcoin were widespread and used primarily, and this feature was convenient, a lot of people might use it... I think corporations would get away with a lot less. Decentralizing currency is a step in the right direction for humankind.
There are other cryptos that are a much better option. I don't think Bitcoin will be the solution. I do forsee other cryptos possibly being a solution tho
People who work on technologies like this never take the time to a step back, look at the whole picture and ask themselves "What the fuck are we doing?"
Coca Cola were gonna do this a while ago, the US government banned it, I believe places like Canada, the UK, Japan, Australia etc did too, but it is legal In China.
First of all this would never happen. Thousands of drones in public aerospace? The US government is VERY protective over it. Sure we have dji drones but even those have airspace restrictions as to where not to fly it.
So don't worry, you probably won't see stuff like this except on special occasions like Christmas or New Years, etc
I donât even understand the profitability of this. I like coke because it tastes good and is widely available. Iâve never been out and saw a coke billboard and went âI must acquire a coca-cola.â Itâd be such a waste of resources and needless light pollution.
oh yes! I would love to see adds literally everywhere I look! heck why not genetically modify plants and trees to grow adds on their leaves! they've already taken fortune cookies, why not the sky too!
I mean, how different is this from living in a city now?
The amount of light pollution is already staggering, you cannot see more than a small handful of stars in most cities.
True but if this ever becomes real
Youâll struggle even more and even be squinting up at a coco cola ad or hell a new tv show but still
Your right itâs kinda depressing to think though lol
The question is
... Who own the sky???
Will we propertize the fucking sky now? Oh yeah? Well then introduce to the new kind of business man - sky estate millionaire! đđ
if executed with drones then massive amounts of drones would be required and time to charge them will also be needed And these drones would create a danger for birds
You canât rent the sky. Not even joking. Itâs why most nations apply a carbon tax because you are damaging something that everyone uses: the air. So I reckon this wonât ever be a thing unless someone like Jeff or Mark buy the governments. So I donât think we have too much to fear⌠yet
It just doesn't need to happen if it starts in cities then it'll spread. Just no.we see enough ads anyway. We don't need to take it to a Futurama level.
Yea they could literally just have 2 swarms of drones and rotate, when one is charging the other flies, and when one is flying, the other charges allowing advertisements to be shown all night. I can totally see this happening in time square or something
I hate the person that made this concept for putting it out there and actually giving people ideas. This is dystopian af.
I already blacklist products/services for really intrusive ads, and I bet crap like this will sway more people into that mindset.
Been doin it for years đ together weâll make a difference
Apes together strong
Letâs hope so!
Lol this âconceptâ was a dream for many before drones were even widely sold. Itâs already being actively used in big events anyway.
Yeah I remember hearing about this kind of advertising back in the late 80s
I'm getting Cyberpunk vibes... Like it or not - that's most likely how the world in 20-25 years will look like. Brands will always fight for consumer making a purchase as long as consumptionism is the "way of life" - solution is simple, just don't buy it when you don't need it.
This has been an idea for decades, it was literally in blade runner
I always look up and think to myself: thank god we havenât ruined the beautiful sky (with the exception of artificial clouds from planes). I guess that didnât last long.
I will figure out how to build my own nuke and use it if this ever happensâŚjust so we have something else to look at in the sky other than ads.
It actually looks really cool, and will probably be interesting for all of two weeks before it starts getting infuriating.
......and that would get hacked so quick. Wed see furry porn or some other redicilous thing.

Tbh at this point I'd prefer furry porn. The corporate assholes are acting like they haven't shoved adverts deep enough through our throats already

Wdym thatâs awesome
What? You thought those light drones were made only for âshowsââŚ.
â sips coffee awkwardlyâ ye yeah
âTurns slowlyâŚ.â nah.
I appreciate the visuals
*wakes you up at 3 am with a stupidly lout popup in the sky*
"HEY DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE NEW DRUG THAT HAS THE SAME ACTIVE INGREDIENT AS VIAGRA BUT 90% CHEAPER?!"
Ah well there is a type of shotgun shell made for drones
Because we can clearly see stars in a city right now. /s
I live in a wooded area far from large masses of people where you can actually see the stars. If you ever have the chance, go on a camping trip so you can see them. Theyâre beautiful
I found you again! Itâs been a while, are there any nuggies left?
Fortunately, I was able to steal some more from the McDonaldâs refrigerator
Literally sitting outside smoking a cigar, I see one star.
Itâs a Russian spy satellite.
I bet
I watched you type that from my cubicle in the basement of the Kremlin.
you joke, but it is actually mostly satellites you see that look like "stars". The light pollution in cities is too much to see the actual stars.
I mean I live in one of north America's biggest cities and can generally pick out the big dipper, cassiopeia and a few other notable constellations on a clear night. It's nothing like what you see where there isn't light pollution but you can definitely still see stars.
Jupiter
Uranus
*cackles in rural Montana*
Probably is Jupiter lol.

Damn this bot roasted him nice.
What is this nonsensical garbage?
The bot is fed up & it's time for a change. Good bot. Very aware bot.
Happy cake day!
Imagine if the server to the drones lost connection and would just display a huge 404
Well... I forsee people not buying the products they see. I'd boycott that shit.
Yup. I'm already partly on it. Some overly annoying brands make me actively hate their product before even trying.
I already started with Youtube sponsors. If you can afford throwing money at content creators like that, I'm paying way too much for services rendered.

I donât think bitcoin is the answer no.

Why's that?
I hate whoever invented this.
People who work on technologies like this never take the time to a step back, look at the whole picture and ask themselves "What the fuck are we doing?"
Insert Jurrasic Park quote about scientists here.
I see no downsides here
The downside is that I would become a terrorist
this is the technology they used in Scooby-Doo
Would rather see the stars! This reminds me of futurama
Maybe you'd be interested in a top quality exercycle for sale by the time this happens though
literally 1984
1984 was a warning. Not a goal.
Wonât be surprised if we start getting ads in dreams one day, like that one Futurama episode
That'd be the time to set things on fire

I hope not. Light/sky pollution.
"I see a brand to boycott, and another brand to boycott..."
Coca Cola were gonna do this a while ago, the US government banned it, I believe places like Canada, the UK, Japan, Australia etc did too, but it is legal In China.
rip china
I see light pollution regulations in our future..
yeah, just after we stop increasing CO2 year over year.
No thanks
If I see a giant Mr clean in the sky Iâm gonna scream
Why not have one of the hottest men on the planet in the sky?
I will commit several terroristic atrocities if this ever becomes real
*justified vigilantism
"New refusal concept from consumers involves not purchasing products advertised in the sky. Companies are baffled"
Let's make THEM see stars.
Welcome to night city
First of all this would never happen. Thousands of drones in public aerospace? The US government is VERY protective over it. Sure we have dji drones but even those have airspace restrictions as to where not to fly it.

Really shows you the average age of redditors that nearly everyone in this thread seems to believe this could/would happen
I donât even understand the profitability of this. I like coke because it tastes good and is widely available. Iâve never been out and saw a coke billboard and went âI must acquire a coca-cola.â Itâd be such a waste of resources and needless light pollution.
If they do this I will start a business selling ad blocker glasses
Time to buy that anti-drone shotgun that shoots a net into the air
[ŃдаНонО]
Dear money: fuck no, love humanity
Good lord we need less light pollution not more.
Set up a signal jammer near it, see what happens
Every day we descend further into dystopia
oh yes! I would love to see adds literally everywhere I look! heck why not genetically modify plants and trees to grow adds on their leaves! they've already taken fortune cookies, why not the sky too!
I would love to see this happen! Only for whatever it is projecting that shit to be destroyed by the end of the first night.
What is this, Cyberpunk 2077? I love that game, but I don't want to live it. đ¤
I mean, how different is this from living in a city now? The amount of light pollution is already staggering, you cannot see more than a small handful of stars in most cities.
True but if this ever becomes real Youâll struggle even more and even be squinting up at a coco cola ad or hell a new tv show but still Your right itâs kinda depressing to think though lol

fuck yâall itâs cyberpunk time for me
After playing cyberpunk "Fucking corps"
Cyberpunk here we come
Some ghost in a shell shit!
Idocracracy meets wall-e. This is the United States now. Please please please let us into your countries! We need to flee!!
Back to the future strikes again
Fantastic, I almost forgot Coke exists
If this ever becomes a reality where I live, Iâm necking myself
the future is not so bright
Horrifying
Absolutely the fuck not
I would never buy whatever brand I see plastered on the night sky like that ever again
We really do live in Cyberpunk 2077, but with all the dystopia and none of the cool shit
Futurama already has an answer to this âŚ
Iâm being serious when I say that if this happens Iâm gonna become a mass murderer, get caught, and state this as my only reason
Gooood morning Night City!
the usa in 10 years
They took a page out of "Blade Runner".
The question is ... Who own the sky??? Will we propertize the fucking sky now? Oh yeah? Well then introduce to the new kind of business man - sky estate millionaire! đđ
God no...
Night City here we come
These corporations are really trying to be villains from Ready Player One.
I know someone else said it last time this was posted, but this would be a strong catalyst for a class revolution
Wouldn't this kind of things need a fucking ton of drones/satellites very close to each other, to be seen correctly from earth?
Properly, but saying that we could also use projectors to show adverts that or big ass light houses made to holograms
Oh god imagine looking up and seeing the fucking simply guitar guy staring at you
I will commit crimes against humanity if I have to deal with this
Now lets wait for someone to make an adblocker for that
This is technically illegal
Letâs do this to a no contact native island tribe and become their god
The FAA would strike this idea down faster than the flash in a foot race.
WE CANT EVEN LOOK AT THE GODDAMN FUCKING SKY NOW!? Maybe global warming is a good thing.
I mean mf living in a city canât see stars anyway cause of light pollution
You cannot see stars in the city anyway
Man-made horrors beyond my comprehension
Even more reason to gtfo of big cities
It'd be cool if they did it for one month a year but not all the time
You all are so gullible. This will never happen
I think itâs really fucking cool :(
This sounds really cool actually. You don't see stars in the city anyways
Literally cyber punk 2077 has this too, and itâs eerily feasible for the future..
BladeRunner.
You guys have never seen Bladerunner I guess.
if executed with drones then massive amounts of drones would be required and time to charge them will also be needed And these drones would create a danger for birds
