I got my reddit account temporarily banned for 3 days.

For context, r/NBA was discussing gambling, and a user said there are wealthy people making a lot of money with gambling. So despite being detrimental to society, gambling isn't going anywhere.

I replied we can stop them by cutting their heads off. Got suspended for violating Rule #1, then deleted the app 😛

    I am pretty sure the primary source of revenue for sports leagues right now is their partnership with gambling sites, so unfortunately online gambling is here to stay in sports in most of the world. It's crazy how embedded it has become the last 5-6 years, they put betting lines in the damn broadcast overlay, sports influencers are all sponsored by one of the big online casinos, it has become so normalized that people simply do not watch games without betting.
