On one hand, people should be free to spend their money on whatever they want. Who am I to judge?

On the other hand, these stupid mobile games are taking advantage of people with mental disorders, its like a gambling addiction.

Some kinds of cap, say $1000, would be far beyond the 99th percentile of users but you never hear of limits being set. They want stupid whales to buy in. It's designed that way. maybe not up to the price of a tesla, but I betcha theree are a surprising number of $500-$2500 players out there.

Lots of businesses reply on their customers abuse of their products, or ignore the consumers personal harm. Fast foods, cigarettes, sodas, are all agressively marketed. There is nothing more motivating to a stupid human than the engineered dopamine hits producers by gambling and it's dirty cousin, gaming with micro transactions. It's gambling where you never expect money back!

Most girls are ugly and that's why Japan marriage rate declined due to unrealistic expectation from its male population who grew up with attractive fictional female characters or even real life idols/actresses who's attractiveness is not a representation of the average girls.

Single men in Japan and other first world country really, are especially vulnerable to spending too much money on hobbies. When you don't have a family to feed, even the average salaryman job left you with plenty of extra money. Especially if you're good in playing stocks and already has a house (like usually given by parents), you'll have a fuckton of money to spend on stupid shit.

Basically first world problem.

It's a video, unfortunately. It was the only way I could find it - no transcript.
