Can’t watch any sports nowadays without the constant prattling about betting apps.
I’m not a big sports person, but I put those in the same category as pharmaceutical ads and like that they exist. Both are products I have zero interest in consuming and they pay to subsidize the TV that I watch. I’d be much more concerned if the ads were for products I might actually be a consumer of, as the power of advertising is real.
My only concern about the pervasive gambling is that there are populations that are being targeted. On one hand I want them protected from that, but on the other hand those people are adults and its not my business to decide how they choose to spend their money, so I err on the side of letting them choose for themselves.
