No, gambling is specifically defined as a predatory mechanism of addiction aimed at seperating people from their means to survive. You cannot directly compare it with porn and social media as if they are of the same exact type, they are not. They fundamentally are of two different categories.

You are making a poor comparison and your inability to recognize that makes you look more and more ridiculous.

Fundamentally, I disagree. Both are addictive behaviors exploited by the rich and powerful.

And I'm sure I've looked way more ridiculous for way worse stuff. The fact that you keep trying to attack my character says more about you than it does about me.
