A lot of social media influencers especially vloggers and YouTubers are promoting gambling usually at the end of their vlogs or videos.
I could see a huge contribution and spread of information that they made especially during this time where the majority are using smartphones already. In fact, we've been seeing a massive increase in gamblers and online gambling sites. But how this could affect the mindset of the kids when they are also seeing these ads/promotions from the social media influencers they followed? I could be wrong but this has a mental effect on them and at a very young age, they are exposed to gambling already which is supposedly not the right time.
I think these influencers must know their target audience before accepting the offer or should not be included in their vlogs or videos?
The point is, when everything is easily accessible then of course, anything will be easy to do including gambling and probably many other things that have basically affected children. It's unfortunate indeed, but whatever the government does, at least it won't be entirely successful because after all, if they have become addicted and continue to want to try it then of course they will also be able to make efforts to be able to do so. So yes, in this case it is indeed appropriate for influencers to be able to make good considerations, and not only about the benefits that will be obtained, but they also (the influencers) must be able to consider the impacts that will be caused as well. So yes, the point is to be able to control yourself and not be greedy to accept and or do it just because you get a big profit.
