It’s kinda gross. Also, not saying that shouldn’t be addressed, since it should, but I’m more concerned with the state of mobile app markets. Pick an game at random and i can probably show you a plethora of ways it is specifically designed to take advantage of subconscious habits and weaknesses. Especially of the vulnerable.
I’ve seen children gathering and spending excessive money in the most unhealthy habitual ways conceivable, and it’s bad enough for vulnerable adults who weren’t trained into the mindset since youth.
People don’t even understand the problem, and will defend the practice as their freedom. Who, while compelled by addiction, won’t be defensive when their problem is brought to light? But it’s bad enough that the popular opinion seems to be in defence of the practices.
It’s just sitting perfectly within the gray area outside of people’s concerns or cares. the bastards with no qualms taking advantage of the vulnerable or incapable are running away with hundreds of billions of dollars. Money out of the pockets of those who couldn’t mentally compete with professionally developed and financed methods of manipulation.
Deceptive designs are bad enough. Blatant scams or unethically disturbing advertisements should have been bad enough. Blatantly manipulating should be well over the mountain of shit that needs addressing on this front.
