Nothing has changed besides current generation having more accessibility to the stock market, casinos, and other forms of gambling.
It all comes down to biology. The dopamine hit you get when your 0DTE you bought for pennies per option skyrockets the next day for a 1,000% return. It’s a dopamine hit unlike anything before it. Forget heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine.
That hit of dopamine from just 1 successful “trade”/gamble is enough to wipe out the previous 100 failed trades. Some people in the drug addiction trade would call this “chasing the high”. Same thing for casinos.
Same reason why your grandparents might spend hours pulling the lever of a penny or nickel slot.
Also probably why insurance companies tend to rate new drivers, especially young men, as “risky”

From there I tried to make it more and more and eventually ended up losing more money than I put in, and a friend convinced me to just disable options and keep them disabled.
