“What is up with creepy commercials for Best Fiends game during this podcast about addiction. . . It’s super weird to suddenly hear a deep voice telling you to download a game ‘that you won’t be able to quit. . . But maybe you don’t have to. . .’, followed by a commercial for online psychotherapy?! This is in between segments basically arguing that Juul used manipulative advertising that reeled in teens and got them addicted?
I’m not taking a stand either way about prevalence or impact of gaming addiction. The commercials just make this podcast seem ridiculous because they are so over-the-top hyping getting addicted to a game, then immediately suggesting therapy! Get a grip y’all.”
