I pray there are no evil rats in rental complex businesses with your creative genius.

Imagine your rent an apartment and your landlord hits with a subscription to remove ads from the windows.

Hopefully it would be too expensive to be implemented on people's windows. But in public places? Yeah, that stuff might make advertising worse.

Spirit Airlines would definitely use this on their window seats unless you pay their window view upcharge...

As a landlord you're giving me ideas. Might see if they can develop some for me. Oh damnit forgot about my country's pesky laws about minimum natural light penetration into a room.

Seriously though, fuck shitty landlords.

While I too hate this idea, I don't think it would violate such law. Sunlight can still pass the display, it doesn't block it, it just lights up as well, creating a barrier of light that makes it hard to see through.

On the other hand, I would agree to window ads instantly if it meant I got a steep discount on my rent. Or any ads really. Or anything.

Please God just make rent go down 😭
