Research shows pathological gambling has second highest suicide rates after major psychiatric disorders like schizophrenia. This isn't entertainment gone wrong - it's serious public health crisis requiring medical intervention.
The marketing psychology behind these platforms specifically designed override normal decision-making processes. Apps use variable reward schedules, loss-disguised-as-wins, near-miss programming, and behavioral tracking to maximize addictive potential. Companies spend billions on neuroscience research to exploit brain reward pathways.
Personal responsibility exists within context, but when billion-dollar corporations use psychological warfare against individual consumers, framing this as purely personal failing ignores systemic manipulation at play.
