Video advertising seems contradictory to the digital signage’s originally intended purpose.

              it was an honest question as I thought bidet toilet was the norm there why would they need TP?

                The water jet is not 100% foolproof, you still need a confirmatory wipe. Plus your ass is wet, you gotta dry it.

    These will be destroyed in microseconds, and rightfully so.

    Toilet stalls are one of the most frequently vandalised things.

              Diffefent from which one? Do you think that there are only two cultures in the world? 🙃 I don’t use google, and don’t know how relevanf graffiti is to discussion about displays in toilets.

    Saw this in a bar once. You could see the SD card storing ads hidden in a vent. People mistook it for a camera and got the place full of police officers. Not a good move

    Look, if the revenue goes straight into maintaining the restroom and keep it from looking like, well, a public restroom I honestly don’t mind.

    Something tells me that’s just wishful thinking, though…

    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.

    I see this less of an issue than the overall lack of public restrooms outside of the major subway stations in Japan in general.

    The vast majority of comments here are painfully unaware of Japanese societal norms and I can guarantee that these won’t be vandalized with exception to maybe the most alt cultured youth areas such as Amerikamura.
