Exploiting people's addictive behaviors, especially from kids

A massive one
Youtube is a timesink with ads. Social media has a chance for ads. Not much corporate sense behind it, I think the idea is more societal.

Enjoy your weekend

He looks like Epstein <:hyperthink:462282519883284480>
Reminder. Mixed market economies are the best solution for the consumer and that free market capitalism is inherently flawed.
Yeah that was a great vid @Monstrous Moonshine
