I believe a temperance movement is on the horizon. The fact that we've turned smartphones into vice dispensers (and surveillance devices but that's another topic) is one of the greatest failures of western society.

Of course it does! Why pay all those machine learning/data employee salaries?

In 2016 I joined an online casino (as a PM) and was confronted by the biggest machine learning and real-time data operation I had ever seen at the time.

All about pushing wagering bonuses, measured by deposits.

At the time we still called this class of user "high value". Not allowed to do that anymore... Gives the game away!

There is a special place in hell waiting for these people and everyone who helps enable their greed and the misery they produce. I bet their system also finds who is likeliest to win and finds a reason to ban them like casinos have been doing.
