Thanks for a great reply. I totally see the need for recording engineers (live and mechanical) and related jobs.
Can you compare the industry now to 10 years ago. What jobs have disappeared? The music press seems much less relevant. Does the A&R executive still exist? Etc.
In my head the fat do-nothing execs are the ones sitting on back catalogues of one sided record deals.
With the democratisation of music production we should be awash with a variety of new music, but the same old artists are still being pushed onto the public. What needs to change?
Casino Scam Two: Rigged Games This casino gaming scam is fairly simple. They run rigged games which let you win for a while, but ultimately rinse you of every penny. This one doesn’t require 4D chess or deviousness fit for a Bond villain, just good old-fashioned rigged software.
The scam casino software companies which create rigged games are fairly well-known by most people who play regularly online or work in the online betting industry. Respected casinos don’t work with them, and respected casino software companies don’t usually work with casinos that do. That’s an important thing to note, because it is the first step to avoiding rigged games. If you see Microgaming, Playtech, NetEnt, or other powerhouse casino software companies in the mix, it’s highly likely that you’re dealing with a legitimate online casino.
However, scam casino operators have gotten wise to this, and as a result, they run pirated versions of otherwise legit games. They’re much more difficult to spot for the untrained eye, because they are clones of the original games with a tweaked code to cheat you.
My argument is that casinos don’t need to scam by rigging games.
And this opinion is incorrect. I would accept that some online casinos don’t need to scam by rigging games.
A scam site is no more a casino than a phishing site is a banking site.
Incorrect. I’ve posted multiple examples of online casino scams, including rigging the games.
Do you think banking sites are scams?
Some are.
Now you are defending the hill that some scammers use casinos as their vector for scams, which is a completely different thing, that nobody questioned also.
Look at the top of this thread. The question was “Why are online casinos bad”.
If we are talking about banking sites, and - say - we discuss the security measures needed on them, nobody would think to include phishing sites into the discussion, because it’s meaningless.
You have defined legitimate casinos as only ones that don’t rig games or do scams. A priori you are correct.
There are enough illegitimate online casinos to create a problem for the whole industry.
Online casinos = scam
explain what economic incentive do legitimate casinos (licensed) to rig game
They don’t have enough users so they need to squeeze their regular punters harder.
Even your beloved “legitimate” casinos do “rig” games by offering different odds at different times to different people. They scam people by restricting the amount that can be withdrawn (and other ToS tricks). They create user interfaces to maximise player losses.
