Recently I decided to watch a video on YouTube about gambling addiction about how different guys fight it. And what's most interesting is that I came across one video, watching which for some reason I had the feeling that this video was more promoting the casino than talking about the downsides of it.
Despite the fact that the main presenter of the video and the guest hero talked about the disadvantages of gambling addiction, but there were a lot of video inserts of guys winning huge multipliers and jumping happily in front of the webcam, and there were a lot of such videos. And in the end, I got the feeling that, rather, here the casino was shown in a positive way, and this was the secret message of this video.
I think it was sponsored by the casino.
What do you think about this?
Without the video included, i don't get a feeling that this was about addiction, but more like addiction as a side note. Or then i am missing some context, because showing winning is the very main thing you get hooked on. I am willing to assume that i would get different vibes from watching it. Also i don't get why they would be helpful to diss a random casino during this? Isn't this a broad psychological concept?
Addiction isn't about some casino's downsides, it's about addicts downsides. And you can talk about addiction without putting any kind of positive or negative spin to it. I don't even know what positive light means on this context. Positive how? It sounds like you are talking about them speaking positively about casino, not the addiction. Which is pretty normal thing during any anonymous addicts group talks. And speaking about addiction and speaking about some casino are 2 different things.
