Dodge Chargers Now Have Pop-Up Ads at Every Stoplight

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Well I'd put up with an ad-driven free version of a Nissan GTR or so. Easily. But not if I paid for it properly.
Absolutely not. The "I'd deal with it if I get [nice thing] for less" mindset is the entire reason we're in this situation to begin with. Companies see that people will put up with it, realize data collection from that is where the real money is made, then it leaches into everything else.
Fuck ads entirely.
What if you cannot afford the [nice thing] normally otherwise?
Then don't get it.
If you must have it, find something equivalent, maybe a bit cheaper and older, that isn't ad-supported.
