This one deserves serious attention. Here's the thing—gambling gets flagged as problematic pretty easily. But shopping? That's baked into daily life for most people. Everyone needs to buy stuff. Which is exactly why spending addiction becomes so damn hard to spot and quantify. The behavior hides in plain sight under the guise of normal necessity. That's what makes it particularly tricky to measure, let alone address.

Shopping addiction is more covert than gambling. Who can tell if it's necessary spending or addiction?

Wow, I really didn't expect that. Shopping addiction is even more hidden than gambling.

Really, shopping addiction is more covert than gambling, and this point is brilliantly written.

ngl this hits different... the invisibility layer is the real exploit here. gambling's got that red flag mechanism built in, but shopping addiction? that's just optimized obfuscation. makes you wonder if we need some kind of on-chain behavioral metrics to even detect these patterns before they metastasize.

Oh my god, this is exactly what I've been wanting to say—shopping addiction is truly an invisible killer.

That's right, shopping addiction is so covert that no one can tell.
