Do motorway billboards signal the first death throes of capitalism? | Adrian Chiles
Briefly

The electronic billboards glow brightly along arterial roads, capturing fleeting attention while effortlessly beckoning curiosity, despite their ephemeral messages vanishing just as quickly as they appear.
The author describes an almost hypnotic effect from passing these massive advertisements: the vibrant colors and attention-grabbing promises provoke a curious response, yet the experience feels momentary and frustrating.
Despite the high cost of these digital signs and their potential to reach millions, the effectiveness of their transient messages is called into question, as they are often too fleeting to absorb.
Caught in the rush of travel, the allure of brightly lit advertisements draws drivers in, creating a paradox of both temptation and elusiveness in the digital marketing space.
