    I find it super weird that the only time we see any in-universe ads (not counting Lower Decks) it’s:

    • A dead planet where an arms dealer used to operate and their holographic sales program was still running
    • A single TV ad made by Quark on DS9 (that he illegally broadcast by hacking the communications system or something)

    I would think that every Ferengi ship would just be a giant holographic billboard for Ferengi products and services. We even see Ferenginar a few times and there are no ads anywhere. Not even in the FCA building. But they do make a point of showing off how you have to pay for everything; including visiting a person’s home.

      I mean, for all we know there’s ads all over the place in different languages than english and different designs than we’re used to.

      We know there’s other ads cause of Sluggo Cola: The slimiest cola in the galaxy.
