Those local ads clutter the landscape and litter. They also wouldn’t be necessary if people went back to local community engagement for things like art rather than over reliance on corporate art forms, eg if advertising didn’t permeate every facet of our existence the problem might self correct.
Also in a just society one could just play music to enjoy the art form rather than submit to the vanity of self promotion to try and gather fame.
You’re also confusing advertising with information. The bar website having information on happy hour is not an ad. That is information. This is why the yellow pages were not an ad. The difference here is consent. You chose to seek that information out, so it is fine. Obviously there needs to be a way to find information for like local mechanics and shit. But getting a flyer in the mail from one? Yuck.
