    Yeah, it’s literal billboards that slowly pass in the cityscape, looking like a flat PNG pasted over it, not matching tone or theme in any way. It’s not subtle in the least.

      I have this screensaver enabled on my home TVs. One day I went to a restaurant and they had the same screensaver showing on some of it’s TVs but they had these giant billboard ads scrolling by covering parts of the screensaver. That’s the day I learned that AdGuard DNS blocks the billboards (not just the ad but the entire billboard).

      The subtle ones are probably the movie references in the background. The Avengers tower is a subtle hint to watch the MCU, etc.
