I mean, if you want to make a point like that: TV shows are horrificly scarring to children. Not all of them of course, and we have a rating system to make it easier for disconnected parents.
The same goes with games. I guess you’ve never played a Nintendo switch, but these are hardly the same thing as phone gatcha games. My son can easily walk away from playing Mario kart at 5. Games should probably also be rated on addictiveness.
Parental oversight and engagement is of paramount importance.
As to the final paragraph, your right half of the adults can’t. But it’s not like the challenge is going to go away as they age, kids will have better defenses against this shit if they learn from a younger age. But we should also have a deeper look socially as to what we want to let companies get away with in terms of manipulating us.
Yeh for sure, you can only fight so many battles at a time. Even if it pays off in the future.
