I don't if gambling blogs have testimonies of some addicted gamblers who have stopped gambling. Because most of these blogs are filled with lies and scam comments from their own network to trick people into reading their articles. But there is something I know for sure is that, I have seen addicted gamblers changed their perspective from gambling irresponsibly to responsible gambling just from advice and experience. Even here in this forum we have few persons who have dropped the attitude of addiction and are now better gamblers compared to what they were. I myself was somewhat addicted along the way but I quickly made some changes when I discovered how things were moving up side down.
Like all sectors, the control over scientific studies is exercised by the major players in the sector, as academic scientific research is forced to deal with gambling companies to complete research and studies that serve scientific progress in the scientific field and academic research. Gambling blogs, including scientific blogs, are funded and encouraged by the gambling companies themselves, including by commissioning online activists to publish articles that do not contain content that harms the interests of those companies.
That is, we are all saying thesame thing here. And that is why I don't boarder myself reading those comments because it's all fake you can hardly tell a real feedback from a gambler a paid positive response from bloggers. That's also one of the reason I love this forum, the fact that there are gamblers who have had experience with the gambling site before and are willing to share their experiences make it easy for other to not fall for those tricks and false claims by the casino. I see some reputable skit makers also advertising some gambling website and making it seem really easy for one to make millions in a day off gambling in their websites.
You're right I think the reason why they always choose to use those skit Makers to advertise their platforms is because they knew that's the only way they can be able to get too many users to join their platform, moreover with the way they manipulate those thier wining. probably if it is your first time of seeing such advert definitely you will be tempted to join such platform because you will be thinking that wining in gamble is as simple as that, not until you finally join the platform then you will discover how difficult it was before one can actually experience win in gamble.
However, most people can even decide to join the platform due to the love they have for that skit Maker and also the trust they build for him. so they think that whatever thing he/she shares can be of good value to them, which is why most people always get mislead by those celebrities.
