    My dad was a huge gambling addict. Growing up in a household like this is extremely weird since you see a person you trust mindlessly throw away money and you can't really do anything to stop them since you get hit with the "I know what I am doing" or "This time I am going to win". Thankfully he has stopped gambling now. These gambling streamers piss me off since they are basically making a bank by farming their audience, twitch pisses me off for allowing on their platform and governments piss me off for allowing this shit to exist in the first place

The brother offered cheap prices so in retaliation, his sister put her buses on for FREE. She lost a lot of money in a year but her brother could not compete and closed his business. She took a loan, bought his buses and then, finally the only bus company in town, she put the prices up high and made a lot of money. She is still the only bus company in the town to this day.

    22:29 My 4-year-old nephew keeps asking my aunt to buy him McDonald and she bought him just that. I asked her why she didn't buy a better more delicious chicken that is much cheaper and is from a local restaurant and she said she just bought him what he ask for but then I told her that he is barely four.
    The next time we meet she said she bought a chicken from a local restaurant and said that it was McDonald's and he didn't know any better and liked it more than stupid Mc chicken, as for the toy I just told her to buy a cheap toy from random toy store along the road

    39:56 i'm sorry asmond, but you are wrong here and have been bamboozled in your way of thinking.
    take your defence of "he just likes gambling, and gets paid to do it. end of argument" and apply it to diablo immoral.
    would you ever defend that? "he just likes running rifts and spending 500k to max out his character and gets paid to do it. end of argument" is that something you could ever say in the same tone you just said it for gambling?
    and don't give me any "but it's gambling, so you could make a return. in diablo you lose it all for worthless pixels"
    the video you're reacting to isn't about value but predatory practices. and these gambling practices are as bad as diablo immorals manipulations so he is absolutely right in calling out train as being part of the mechanism and using rethorical techniques to defend his "stance" on it.
    nothing stake casino or diablo immoral do to make their custimers spend is defendable. just because it's legal or "good business" doesn't make it good.

What you're saying is true, that they're spending a shitload on marketing to become synonymous with car insurance, but they do that because that means they get more customers and that means they make more money....

    Saying Train has a "sound argument" is technically correct IMO. I think people are caught up in assuming something that Train isn't arguing. Train is correct. His gamba sponsor is losing money because they pay him, but, after that, the argument is pretty easily picked apart. Train's wording is deliberate. It sounds like he wants people to think "oh, they are losing money on the sponsorship. So that must mean they aren't 'making' money on Train," which isn't necessarily true, and factoring in that companies are always looking out for their own financial assurance, it's safe to assume that his sponsorship is gaining some sort of revenue for the company. How much is being made is arguable. They could be losing dollar revenue because of the sponsorship, but there is a fiscal gain that is happening somewhere whether it is making actual dollar revenue or whether it's a break as a "business expense." The Train argument could also be said of really any sponsor. On paper, paying an influencer or content creator will show a "loss" in revenue as an expense. So they aren't "making money" per se, but they are "profiting" fiscally.

    the only "gambling" I ever did where the winnings went up into thin air was when my mom was sick with cancer in the hospital. I didn't buy scratching tickets to win, I bought them for us all to scratch them and have a bit of fun while she was bed bound.
    So I used to get so and so many scratching tickets every day for mom and then of course her favorite drinks and snacks, and then we'd all gather around and scratch together. My dad actually won a big amount once, like 100 usd worth xD we threw a party for him.
    Other than when mom was stuck in the hospital that one month, I haven't spent money on gambling or scratching tickets ever. That's because I got more worth out of the tickets, with or without winning, when it was with mom before she passed.
    When my mom won little amounts she would tell me to get new scratching tickets for that money. So I did!

    You know I like to call this the “hype-train effect.” It’s all about branding themselves, the company, as the best or better than their competitors. Celebrity endorsements are a mini hype-train. People follow the celebs and do what they do. It then goes from there by word of mouth. Basic marketing suggests if one likes some particular thing they are likely to tell 3-4 other individuals about it. However if they hate it, they are more likely to tell 10+ more individuals. Most marketing research shows bad news gets a rise out of people more so than good. If things are good no action to correct it is needed and vice-versa. Which is also why the news is, well the way it is. Just don’t “buy” into talk, follow the money. Who is getting paid by whom, when are they paid(timing matter), where do they fit in on the chain of operations. Lastly most high level executives play both sides, better to play both sides and put them against one another all the while robbing them blind. Classic bait and switch.
