Well, advertising is more or less a zero-sum game. Showing more ads to someone does not mean they have more money to spare.
So, there's only so many slices you can cut the advertising cake into. And this concept just feels like someone is spending far too much money for far too small of a slice, for them to be able to make that money back.
Well, and the nozzle company did go bankrupt as someone else commented, so I guess, that answers that question either way...
Screens are cheap man. Advertising is highly profitable and effective. You aren't inonnated with a zero-sum game. It's far from saturation. If it's somewhere your eyeballs point there is profit to be made by putting ads there.
