@GeriAQuin@mstdn.social Gambling on sport is literally ancient. So are yellow journalism (i.e. old-school rage bait), porn, easily-dismissed dating ads (they used to be in the newspaper classifieds), and trendy music. Short-form television, food delivery, and remote shopping (Sears) aren't ancient, but they are old. What's new and bad is that most of these things are controlled by like 3 companies, and almost nobody's seeking decentralized alternatives. @lawyersgunsnmoney@mstdn.social @paninid@mastodon.world @Uair@autistics.life
