The Online Gambling Epidemic | xQc Reacts

[@RecordableMusic]

He's defensive even before anybody said anything about different types of gambling, slots, sports betting. Why is he defensive, cause deep down he thinks what he's doing is wrong and he's addicted.

[@athreadpool]

He has a bias, for sure due to his conflict of interest making the money he is. He has to do this, to resolve cognitive dissonance that compels some form of action. Q is a smart guy, but he’s not yet good at self analysis. Both with identifying harm from associating with narcissists, aswell as deciding to enable his addictions. I think anyone in his circumstance would do what he did with the money he was offered

[@zeriosimp5130]

Did we watch the same video? He is agreeing with the fact that gambling is stupid, maybe he is addicted and maybe i am d riding. But from my perspective after watching this video is that he didn't become defensive even before anybody said anything about different types of gambling.

Yep! There's a word for that. Cognitive dissonance!

[@thebirdfromtwitter1249]

ego is too large to admit he has ever done anything wrong

[@athreadpool]

Precisely. Cognitive dissonance will compel you to resolve it. Either by rationalizing your decision, or by changing your behaviour to not do the action in the first place. X does the former by narrowing his friend group to friends who unquestioningly support the behaviour. This is probably done unconsciously, by subtle negative feelings of judgement around friends who don’t support it culminating in distancing himself from those who he feels he cannot budge. I am not judging x. Obviously I never had the opportunity to that amount of money, so I can say what i like but ethically I’ve not been tempted. I wish him the best and maybe he will realize that better hobbies and friends are in his life are still within reach.

They just say things at face value and say "I SAID IT, gambling is bad, don't point fingers at me". What a dumb take from xqc.

Theres a deep irony in these streamers i just don’t see people pointing out. To thank supporters for donating/subbing, whilst simultaneously gambling thousands like money isn’t even real. Then proceed to advertise it to those same people. Do gambling streams for hours. But try to justify it behind this line of “gamble responsibly”. moral degradation

[@Lejeron]

Gambling is so useless and stupid especially if you are already rich😂its basically a form of dopamine and serotonin release along with adrenaline which then turns into an unhealthy addiction because knowing you are already wealthy enough not to worry about anything, thats kinda the only way you get an adrenaline high with having the fear of losing it all or gaining a few millions which is like pennies to a millionnaire.

I was going to watch but decided to read the comments first, thank you commentators

[@krino45]

What an awkward deflectionfest, every time X commented on the slots it was really funny since you can tell he has nothing else to say but try to divert attention. "His points are valid, I can see how you can portray it that way, I won't defend it since I don't feel attacked" You can't reason with someone who chooses to ignore his own influence. He genuinely just doesn't care. He treats gambling like a bad game segment instead of something that might've cost some of the people who brought him to be their lives. From this reaction I hoped he'd either trash the vid (would be funny and not change anything) or acknowledge something (wouldn't be genuine but better than nothing), this is worse than both somehow

[@xondeez757]

5:24 yes they are very much rigged. Explain to me how someone I know can hit nearly 95% of his bets. He told me once that nearly every single major sport outcome is rigged in some way shape or form. Even certain player props are more likely to hit based on who gets the chance to make the plays the most in game. This doesn’t exclude the fact that all gambling is bad lol.
