    The product hunt ad is breaking the immersion for me. I know that most cities have ads but still, I prefer ad free pixel art.

    It’s also not realistic, in one landscape the billboard is taller than a 9 story building.

      Would a hide option help, or should the billboard itself blend into the scene better?

        Just delete it :/

        Ads are the worst and they're antithetical to the vibe of something like this

        If it's an actual ad.. You'd get more goodwill (and maybe clicks) out of a tiny 'if you appreciate this maybe check out product hunt to support me' message somewhere. At least it's not manipulative that way.

          Yes, just delete it. Seriously. WTF is that? Loved the general vibe but hit the back button after a visceral to... f*ckin' Product Hunt? Seriously?

          Crazy times, man.

            Not really that crazy. It’s just an ad.

            I hear you. If the billboard made you leave, it’s getting in the way of what I wanted the site to feel like. I’ll rethink it.
