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

And it's more widespread in Australia compared to practically every other country.
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.
The rest of crypto has given monero a bad name unfortunatly.
Yes, its certainly a shame that the majority of pyramid schemes have given the rest bad name.
you think monero is a pyramid scheme?
Please explain how monero is a pyramid scheme?
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.
The Shovel, a month ago: Teens facing social media ban relieved they’ll still be able to watch gambling ads
Kids are already gambling and no governments seem to care. Look at the roblox robux gambling sites.
Can ban kids from the fcking internet but can't do shit about 18+ services being advertised to minors yaaay ausgov
