The gambling ads are non stop. I keep seeing them everywhere. So over it.

Seriously

How many of those things do we really need?

Between the sports betting and trading stuff, we now have the following for the major players:

  • DraftKings
  • FanDuel
  • PrizePicks
  • Underdog
  • Kalshi
  • Polymarket
  • Novig

They're not just ads, they're part of the broadcast and pre-game shows, too.

Yeah this is what pisses me off most. Impossible to stay away from them. I’ve never gambled on sports and probably never will, but I can’t imagine how shitty it must be to be inundated by this crap if you’re battling an addiction.
