Absolutely agree.

Framing/Marketing is essential.

It's how they've sold this exploitative hellscape.

"This isn't hell, this is freedom! Freedom from responsibility to one another. Free to win big or lose bigger!"

It's sad that it does work, but it does. Hell, marketing has convinced us that a blatant antisocial vice like greed is virtuous rational self-interest. Marketing 👐
