Thomas H. B. Varney had #bicycle shops in #SanFrancisco, #Oakland and #LosAngeles during the 1890s bike boom. Here's a bit of ephemera from the Oakland shop on Twelfth Street, 1892. Since I'm a nut, you can follow the links in the wiki to learn more about the people. Trivia; Varney, and local bicycle racer Walter B. Foster started an outdoor advertising business that is now known as #clearchannel.
Letter to C. H. Lampson signed by George A. Faulkner, from the shop, "Thomas H. B. Varney's Cyclery" he kept with Thomas H. B. Varney at 354 Twelfth street, Oakland, CA. They sold Warwick and Rambler bicycles.

Successful #adblock has weird impacts on streaming.
Listening to radio (#clearchannel unfortunately because, you know, they basically own radio around here) and there are some strange side-effects.
I seem to be getting the lowest-value ads, lots of "iheart podcast" ads and things, or 90s-local-cable-commercial production levels. They have me geolocated *very* poorly, even without vpn đč so I now know of some local joints about 350 miles away.
The best part is, after it plays 15s or so, it skips to a new ad. Sometimes more than once before ending on a #clearchannel ad or mandatory PSA.
The cherry on top? They usually close by trying to sell me advertising time... Maybe play a complete ad for me first? Why would I pay for an advertisement that ends in the middle? "The savings at Target are Here at Jiffy Lube, you always Have you considered audio advertising? Listen to these customers talk about how well faking #grassroots works for us."

@frankiezafe c'est de circonstance aujourd'hui ;) (mĂȘme si c'est plutĂŽt #clearchannel en fait :p)
An old thread from the bird site. I lived through this era, and saw it happen in real-time. Local #radio stations bought up by #ClearChannel and homogenized.
The reason old farts like me think today's #music all sounds the same is well... because it does.
(more in the thread)
Des #etherpad affichés sur des panneaux #écrans #ClearChannel mi-décembre à #Bruxelles.
"Le 16 dĂ©cembre, en fin de lâaprĂšs-midi, une quarantaine dâĂ©crans publicitaires dans les rues de Bruxelles ont cessĂ©s dâinciter Ă la #consommation ; les dispositifs ont Ă©tĂ© piratĂ©s. Les rues de la ville ont Ă©tĂ© Ă©clairĂ©es par une lumiĂšre diffĂ©rente. [...] On December 16th, in the late afternoon, around forty advertisement #screens in the streets of #Brussels stopped inciting #consumption ; the devices were hacked. The streets of the city were lit by a different light.
You know ? I donât believe thereâs such
A thing as TV. I mean -
They just keep showing you
The same pictures over and over

"#ClearChannel [...] trace numériquement non seulement combien de personnes passent devant un panneau publicitaire, mais elle identifie aussi combien le regarde au moyen des données de GSM. Chaque panneau publicitaire obtient ainsi un score, et les annonceurs voient quel type de personne a regardé leur #publicité.
[...] il est possible de suivre les passants jusqu'à un magasin et de voir ce qu'ils regardent et ce qu'ils achÚtent. [...] le suivi du comportement et des mouvements dans le monde réel, ce qui permet aux #annonceurs de montrer leurs publicités à "des segments adoptant un #comportement spécifique"."
