As a parent, I know I signed up for this. I need to tell her "no" many times a day, every day, for things she really wants to do. That's part of being a parent. I need to suck it up and be a parent.
That said, I don't appreciate that there are people out there like Zucc, who are making it their business to create even more things I have to say no to, and specifically targeting them at kids. Just like those people out there making kids games that are essentially casino gambling, but just barely on the safe side of the legal line. Thanks, a lot assholes, for adding no value to the world and giving me yet another thing to forbid my kid from doing.

I feel this deeply, especially the final paragraph. Feels really depressing sometimes to think how much of what we define as "value" can seem essentially predatory.
