Theoretically you could have a benevolent tracking system You could show people who have problems with gambling ads about help workshops on how to quit gambling. You could reserve the gambling ads for people who haven't had fun in a while and are looking for new things to try The core problem is that what's most profitable is not really aligned with what is good for people. Capitalism only works in a world where people are perfectly informed. In that world, despite ads and manipulation, people will know to choose what is most likely in their best interest at the time. In the absence of that world, they might want to use an intelligent digital agent that will "fight off" (block) manipulative advertising (and content) and seek to help them steer their life in a direction of improvement according to their current needs
