All addiction advertising should be illegal... Imagine struggling with withdrawal and giving up, and then cigarettes appear, bam!

Or alcohol - addicts actually need that shit to get through the day. The offramp for these things needs planning and consistency and this is just reinforcing the impulses

Sometimes merely purchasing things is an addiction, one that many members of my family have. Adtech feels like a weapon designed to exploit anxiety and dopamine pathways.
