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?
Most times these influencers don't do these ads for the kids obviously, because even the casino don't put up these ads so that it gets to kids as such isn't their target audience, most of the kids who get into gambling after seeing this are doing so because the probably felt they would be able to make money from the adverts they have seen. targeting the exact audience they wish to get the advert isn't really a function of the influencers because these influencers are not in control of how wide the various social platforms can be able to spread the advert and promotion they have made already. social media is such that almost all the kid snow have access to it and eventually don't really get controlled as there's no much restrictions as to the chances that the platform gives except in places where there's any of such.
