Journalists notice that someone is exploiting a system and it isn't them and so make an article to try and trash that process.
Meanwhile the same journalists don't give a fudge about other journalists exploiting the same system they use to hamstring customers into buying what they promote.
Is Al Capone perhaps noticing that training Saul Alinsky under him maybe wasn't a good idea?
That's how the entire mainstream cryptocurrency craze started. Journalists started buying crypto and then began running news article after news article promoting the new digital gold, seeing their original investments explode into the stratosphere.
There's definitely a huge problem with gambling and the "stupid tax" as a whole. I don't know how it is in the UK, but sports betting in the US has gone absolutely insane the past five years. I only see it getting worse, and if that makes them mentally ill, the minority of people will still be sane.
I gotta wonder if bots are gonna force all social media to be subscription-based, because otherwise the data harvested from these platforms is worthless.

In a lot of countries the journalists were encouraging buying bitcoins.
good for you. you're noticing that the world is a dark writhing mass of competing interests. always has been.
"+1" is quicker but you have the right idea :)
Any time digital goods are sold for large sums of money suspiciously, think money laundering. Almost certainly what this is.
What are the skins for, and shouldn't we blame the idiots that would spend anywhere from $0.03 to $1,345 for the skins?
It's NFTs without NFTs. The skins do nothing, but they must be buying them thinking they can sell to an even greater fool.

I don't think "people are using bots to play a meme clicker game for pennies" is the grand dramatic social issue you're framing it as.
