I wouldn’t even go that far. People are not taking a pair of scissors to every printed newspaper and even vandalism of outdoor ads is minimal, so it’s not that people hate ads in general, they mostly hate intrusive and distracting ads which is only made worse when tracking makes it feel more like stalking than advertisement. TLDR: people don’t hate ads, they hate Google Ads.
Yeah gm is definitely paying for people to paint over their own ads. And your ad getting painted over totally means you dint have to pay. As we all know the uglier our city is the more people want to walk through it

I don’t even hate Google ads. It’s all the other flashy deceptive animated video bullshit.
There’s a guy in my neighborhood that goes around throwing paint on all the bus stop ads. It’s pretty great I hope he never gets caught.
Reducing the economic viability of public services is really sticking it to the man. /S
