One of my favorite parts of living in SF were these dumb billboards. They’re so bad - though this one is a bit more dystopian than most.

Boston has similar hyperspecific billboards directed at biotech companies

That and Rippling! I feel like every trashcan in the city is Ripping or a weed delivery company.

Funny how they both chose the trash cans!

That section of the freeway always has niche tech billboards. It took me a little while to get used to.

How many of these billboard/muni and bart ads are by companies who end up failing?

It really seems like the billboard/transit ad is perfect for founders with too much money and not enough marketing sense.

Now most of the billboards are about privacy - we value your privacy, our company keeps your data private, blah blah. From Apple, Whatsapp, and Google rofl. Like “we have always been at war with Eastasia” levels of bullshit.
