And you are entirely wrong. And using logical fallacies, to boot.
You are simply using the extreme end of the scale for the effects as a stand in for an actual argument. You think that by stating “it’s not meant to control every aspect of your life”, you’ve invalidated the point. You haven’t.
There are people at both ends of the scale - I’m at one end, I’m too paranoid and cynical, as well as just contrary, for most of it to catch me. Although some things do. Then, you have people without the self-control to create any limits on their actions, basic hard-core addicts to anything.
The mid-range contains most people - again, this isn’t saying that everybody is instantly totally controlled by any given method, but enough are influenced that it’s worth integrating behavioural psychology into any aspect of a business that would benefit from influencing buyers/users.
Video games, casinos - even the colour schemes of hospitals are designed to control how people act.
In summary - you’re wrong. your stance flies in the face of what mental health professionals and addiction support workers have found, and base their work on. Addiction isn’t simply a matter of you can resist, or not. There are other factors like the tricks used to get you to partake, and to continue to do so.
Wow is full of them - some people are more easily influenced or trapped than others.
tldr: Your a callous idiot, who seems to think their experience is universal, and likely believe in boot camps and tough love to fix people. God knows how sad your views on mental illness are.
Don’t like my books? Then stop making posts that display your ignorance, and I’ll give up trying to educate you, and more importantly, those unfortunates who might actually believe you.
