RE: Tierrita, tierrita; no juego más Hari-raid
I read your well written post and find it a pity that 80% of the message is ignored and it is "rewarded" with a downvote by one person with different hats.
It's a fact that gambling/gaming is addictive and not fun to everyone.
Monkey Business held twice a comment contest with this topic twice. I saw ex addicts arrive on Steemit and leave because they started gaming again.
Is a casino, Steemit or a developer of games responsible for how people ruin themselves? I don't think so. Adults are responsible for themselves but the risk of playing can be mentioned (not that the addicted reads or cares) since all he sees is big win (or big boops and sex like your example in the Casino 🤣) and so does the owner of the casino/game. It's big, BIG business, nothing else.
What I wonder about is how come only the whales seem to play? People who on average, never show in other communities or even seem to talk or reply. Coinc,idence or is that farming accounts and bitbot users are the only ones willing to take a risk?

Let's imagine you're an entrepreneur who loves reading, and you promote a campaign to develop a book for a month on "Creating Happiness in Life." You've decided to support this campaign with 100% of your voting power and any other reward you can offer.
It turns out that after several days, two or three users come in, complaining that the reading is boring and doesn't interest them, while another three say the prize is too little for what you're asking for, knowing that a book for sale can generate millions of dollars anywhere it's published.
What would you say to these users?
Buy the book , it's sounds to me you are not too happy and can use something to prep you up and hey, it's mainly pictures LOL
Yes, it is difficult to be diplomatic when someone tries to disqualify our tastes or our ideas.
I don't believe it's about disqualifying taste or ideas. It's like marcybetancourt also said: the games always been there on Steemit and that's what I remember. A more loosen up Steemit where fun was part. I don't see any problem in that. You an warn it can be addicted but if you ask me so is Steemit itself. It alsways felt like a game to me with "levelling up".
It's a fact not everyone can write or will ever learn it. It's not different from real life. Different people, differet hobbies. Addiction is a disease so is being obsessed but I doubt there's much we can do to make people stop playing or gambling (to me gaming is not per se gambling. My chldren game and are good at it but are not addicted, same for watching films, and their other hobbies. They devide their time among their interests (next to a job and study).
I also assume that those who don't have Steem cannot play for money or are loans provided like in some casinos?
A happy day.
Don't worry, my friend, the main goal will always be to clarify the points.
Thank you for your input.
