> Or towns in various places that prohibit signage that is not in the same plane as the edge of the building (i.e. no sticky-outy signs).

In many places where these signs are banned, old grandfathered-in examples have become beloved heritage landmarks.

The musée Carnavallet in Paris has a fascinating exhibit on the city's history based entirely on old business advertising signs.

An example here in Vancouver: https://vancouversun.com/news/whats-the-future-bow-mac-sign-...)

I detest a lot of modern forms of advertising as much as the next guy, but at the same time I think we'd be choking off a lot of interesting and enriching human expression by trying to remove it entirely.

I find it super interesting reading about goat and human sacrifices done by past cultures. It was a genuinely fascinating part of human culture, that humans thought that could help appease the gods to fix the weather, etc.

Just because it was done in the past, and is interesting to learn about, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t outright ban it.

You're comparing blood sacrifices of animals and humans to… artistic signage advertising businesses?

>>dlensk+bO
Yes. The point is just because it has been done before and holds some interesting historical value doesn’t mean it is valuable to continue to do.
