Places have been doing this for years but not with screens. Just like a bulletin board with ads. Even on your table.

Places like that, you don’t go back to unless you have to. In laws couldn’t understand why I didn’t like their favorite pizza place.

Before that people used to write phone numbers on the stall walls advertising things.

The difference is most ad systems with screens also have a camera built in to the hardware, because they’re just repackaged tablets.

If I want faceless companies to watch me shit I’d buy meta glasses, but I really really do not want that.
