   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.

      Occasionally it switches from product hunt to a "Your Ad Here" ad that links to a popup with the following (slop) text:

      > Put your café, shop, studio or brand on the billboard in Paris: drawn by hand in the same pixel-art style, and glowing in the scene while people study, work and unwind to the music.

      It's clear this is a money-making endeavor, not something created out of passion or goodness of heart. And not art.

         Thanks! I’ll change it to “drawn in the same pixel-art style.”

         This is a passion project for me. I’m paying to keep it running, and the billboards are meant to help cover those costs. I’ll add an option to hide them.
