    1. If we can’t make this shit illegal then at least we ban it from advertising. We don’t allow cigarettes to advertise, most places don’t allow advertising to children. If these parasites must exist then we can at least prevent them from taking a scientific approach to hacking the brains of people most likely to wreck themselves.

    2. Probably at least partially the other way as well. When financial problems are surging, so does gambling.

      Correlation and such. Not to mention, traditional investing pretty much feels like nothing more than gambling these days, since any moment a random social media post can come along and change the market.
