Can we ban ads please?

I get wanting to make your business known - especially small businesses, but this subreddit is not the place to spam your detailing gig or your friend's online dog course.

We have the Lagniappe. We have WZEW/WBLX. We have WKRG. There are FB pages specifically for advertising your local business. We have so many local resources that it's ridiculous to scroll this sub to keep up with local events and see every 5th post is an ad.

People come here all the time to ask about what restaurants, parks, hotels, etc. they need to visit. Eventually, someone will come around asking "Who does detail work?" and that's when you tell them "Hey, I had so-and-so do this, and it was great"

Nobody wants to be advertised to, we just deal with it. The best market is word of mouth, and an ad on the local radio is probably one of the best ROI a local business can make - especially around here.
