I don’t see why advertisement for gambling is any more offensive than advertisement for any other form of entertainment

Why would we do that? I’m perfectly capable of using a gambling app responsibly.

Let me guess - because some people are unable to consume this form of entertainment responsibly, we have to make it illegal for everyone? Makes sense. While we’re at it let’s kick the war on drugs back into high gear, reinstate prohibition,

Is your claim that human therapists have caused zero suicides? I hope not for your sake - that would be a really hard one to defend

Fascinating perspective - any technology that has caused >0 deaths is a dead end and has no chance of improvement.

Then it should be pretty easy to explain right? I’ve seen the same reply to my comment multiple times. Each time it has nothing to do with what I said. I made no claim regarding businesses surviving or not surviving. Why do people keep repl
