Fuck this hits hard.
I never understood slots, nor gambling in general.
So I never saw how fucking HUGE it is. Oh my god people sink THOUSANDS of dollars of their hard earned money every month on the stupidest slots imaginable. The more stupid the slot is, the more popular it gets.
Online, offline, doesn't matter. People are at it EVERY SECOND of the time. It does not stop. Ever.
Well, actually no
I doubt that any serious competitor will bring any change to this space. Why would it - everyone will scream 'shut up and take my money'.
Convenience is usually at odds with security.

But he has a lot of product to sell.
And companies will gobble it all up.

No, that would not be dystopian enough.
You missed the biggest flaw in all those arguments: "yet".
None of that stuff is required... yet. It will. As soon as the subscription model catches on, it will be required.
Just look at: everywhere. How far did video streaming go from cable? Well, it's not there... yet. But it's going there.
Don't think for a second this time will be different.
No, just... eat them.
It's not like there's any positive change waiting to happen from that thing. You can't be tolerant of the intolerant. We joke a lot about Twixxer and how insecure Muxx is, but the truth remains - he is a real and direct threat to a lot of people.
Let's not forget the beast behind the human behind the image.
If you can self-host, there are alternatives.
I haven't used Discord in 6 years.
