Office buildings near me have them, they try to make them appear as "infotainment" to quote Otis in the article.
A news headline and then ads for everything from food to cars to podcasts. Another headline, more ads.
- function_seven 4y agoOh my god I forgot about that. Yeah, the high-rise my old company was in had those as well. A cheery, "Here's what's happening in the world" with some quick headlines, then an ad for Jimmy Fallon or something. We were on the 45th floor, so there was plenty of captive time.

So an interesting headline pops up, and then maybe about 500ms in it cuts to a wildly animated ad for some crap or another. So it's not just irritating, it is aggressively obnoxious. You wanted to read this story ? HAH HAH, sucker!
