CEO thinks gambling cures Instagram addiction
Kalshi's Tarek Mansour is out here pitching his prediction market app as the solution to social media dependency. This is genuinely like treating caffeine addiction by switching to coke. A man selling addictive behavior sees no irony in marketing it as a cure for addictive behavior. The grift is baked in from the pitch.
A betting app CEO rebranding compulsive gambling as mental health treatment is the kind of circular con job that only works when the mark is desperate enough.
