I don't know exactly what definition they meant, but I'm confident that a crier doesn't count as an ad company.

Geez, if you think people don't like banner ads or billboards, you should see what they think of town criers.
Criers are expensive. And I'd say that mattress shop guy qualifies and he doesn't bother me that much.
I would happily take a deal that gets rid of all tv and video ads and replaces them with as many independent criers as companies are willing to pay.
I will note we effectively have that law already for political text spam. No robo-texting it has to come from a “real” person. Doesn’t seem to have changed the amount of text spam I get, they just all start with “This is Bob from People Against Things …”
You could probably hire a lot of “town criers” on fiver for the cost of a 30 second TV spot.
