I wonder how the relationship/contract works between TFL and Vitabiotics, they are seemingly always running some kind of campaign

What % of the Vitabiotics product cost is TFL tube advertising

@benjojo more like TFL have found an advertiser always willing to buy space if the price is low enough, which eradicates all of the dead space on the network.

I think the same of Randox... I know the trans folk all use it for our bloodwork, but I can't imagine they actually have that many customers in reality, the places are always so quiet when I go.

@dee yeah I suppose, Randox has a level of ick for me because they seem to be targeting their services at hypochondriac people more than anything else

@benjojo you rarely see commercial ads on South london busses anymore. It felt like commercial adds on the tube fell off a cliff during / after the pandemic.

@tmcfarlane Yeah they seem to have, I remember in 2020 the DLR had ads for Doom Eternal even though it had been out for 9 months at that point, no one had bought the ad space
