I was at a gas station a few days ago and the videos were all out of sync. It was a horrible cacophony. I was glad I was just running in for a drink and not pumping gas for a few minutes surrounded by that.
I frequently see them in places where people of lower income shop. I guess because they can't afford a setup for a streaming service or don't know how to do it? I'm not sure. It seems like it would be more expensive.

This was my first reaction to the article as well. The only one around me suddenly vanished a few months ago.
