Been observing the same from past few days. The most popular people in our society seem to be using all their leverage to nudge the youth towards betting and intoxication, both historically known to have ruined individuals and families.
Every 2nd Ad on IPL is: either that of a Pan Masala OR a promotion for a betting app.
Bollywood celebs, Cricketers who built their entire fame on public (and earned 100 crore at least). Are now mass promoting these products.
(To earn some more money)
IPL will be over soon. We will have MORE kids who will get hooked to bad habits like gambling & eating pan-masala.
But:-
- The cricketers will get richer. Bollywood celebs will get richer.
- IPL will churn out even more money.
- Authorities will turn their blind eye on these powerful folks.
Society will continue to worship these demi-gods: who will kill kids at the alter of money.
