          It actually has an Instagram handle barely visible on the top poster and it works. I think this is real.

            The metal plate has gibberish engraving. I don’t see why this would need faking because there was a recent boycott campaign against Loblaws grocery stores in Canada but I guess its just laziness. or camera’s built in AI upscaling

              It’s not gibberish. Just shit job on the engraving. The info on the right matches the label on the left.

              Top is company, the long mostly gibberish looking one is the serial or id number.

      Why would someone fake this? I’m honestly asking. If you wanted this and it didn’t exist you could just print out your own flyer and put it up and take a picture?

      It isn’t fake. Maybe the words are pasted on or something but the warping and everything makes sense.

      The “gibberish” you’re seeing above is just leftover bits because these poles have years of poster bits left all over them.
