Good thing they weren’t specifically talking about billboards and instead were speaking to the much broader spectrum of advertising strategies.

Good thing you aren’t them so its not up to you to say what they were talking about.

This is true and not just about ads. It’s called ‘sign blindness’.
People often run on autopilot when doing things as basic as opening doors, and reading requires direct attention.
It’s not (always) about being dumb or careless, it’s our nature.
