    I hate gambling so much. It’s probably even worse than crypto.

        Yeah. It needs to be banned. Can’t even watch YouTube anymore without shitty gambling ads

          Get rid of pokies too, or at least restrict them to casinos only. Australia has 0.3% of the world’s population but close to 20% of the slot machines in the world.

            Casinos are constantly violating the laws though (and everyone knows it), so even they should go

          Can’t be done. The plutocracy unanimously agrees.

        Yes, its certainly a shame that the majority of pyramid schemes have given the rest bad name.

            It’s unfair to lump all crypto into the same thing, but the perspective has a little validity:
            Pyramid schemes are set up so that the earlier joiners tend to come away as winners while those who join at the end lose everything. Just about every collapsed crypto has had this same pattern.

            Not that Monero is a collapsed Crypto. But if it ever does collapse, the pattern will probably look like a pyramid scheme.

      Gambling should have the same advertising rules as tobacco. Change my mind.
