I’ve been a heroin addict and I will die on the hill that the two most destructive addictions are the legal ones: alcohol and gambling.

Can anything stop America's gambling boom? 🧵

Polymarket and Kalshi are not "prediction markets." They are apps designed to drain young men of their money by developing gambling addictions.

Shut down these parasitic and wholly worthless companies.

I'm going to be very, very real with you:
Hoyoverse games were "offered freely" because they are financed by exploiting gambling addictions. You got a free game because other people's addictions are exploited. And when you post about your gacha games, you become part of the addict-catching net.

My goal isn’t to stigmatize gambling and alcohol addictions more. But as someone who served time in prison for something that hurt only myself, didn’t affect anyone else—gambling and alcohol addictions are rarely only self-destructive.
