    If keeping people mentally stable was profitable…Their entire profit generation is by keeping people emotional, putting people into bubbles and selling to them. Teenagers and younger are a prime target to sell to if you keep them emotional.

    That’s their entire gameplan, it’s how they make money. This goes for every demographic but I’m sure 10-16 year olds are a huge market that they don’t want known

        Its not any different than a slot machine. But no gambling allowed for under-aged folks. Only a social “tool” weaponizing peer pressure and all the worst parts of Western individualiam/alienation is good enough for our children
