    i remember reading about this idea on the paper in the 80s. i think the loggistics of launching such a large structure to orbit, just achieve bad PR would be have terrible ROI

      No need to launch anything, just use a powerful projector aimed at the cloud layer.

      Like the Bat signal.

      I imagine if done irl it wouldn’t be one solid space structure, but instead something like a ground based projector operating on cloudy nights, projecting an ad into the bottom of the cloud layer, or if actually in space, an array of satellites that each act as a “pixel”, with a laser that they can shine at a city or location that they want the ad visible from.
