I feel like it's such a shitty opt out system. I wonder if there's a way to mass disable the ads



Boycott those gas station chains (hint: the cheap gas stations don't pay to upgrade pumps), or buy an EV.


Yup. I'll leave it as a 1-star Google review (not that many people read reviews before choosing a gas station), and then going elsewhere. My second-closest station has these TVs. I forgot once or twice and returned by accident, but now I never forget.


Gas is a commodity, so boycotts don't work, also that puts the oneous on the consumer for being annoyed and not the corporations for literally pumping ads into a mandatory part of our society (where I live, I can't function without a car)


In populous areas, it can influence the map routing when you ask your phone to pick a gas station. If there are many, it may (?) filter out low stars.


You can pay google to route people to your gas station. I’m guess overcoming bad ratings would be just a matter of paying google.


Also who tf reviews gas stations. It's a minor annoyance, that's why they do it, I'd just rather have a state level solution that banned having ads shoved in my face all the time


I'm not boycotting gas, just one particular station chain in my area that has many competitors.
