Here in the Netherlands the government decided to legalize online gambling smack in the middle of the covid crisis. There were adverts for it everywhere, to the point that even many regular people (who in my experience normally aren't against advertising at all) expressed their annoyance and there is talk of curbing advertisements for online gambling (not sure if and to what extent this has actually happened). Completely nuts that they were giving weekly press conferences about how vulnerable and lonely people are and that we have to take care of each other, and then do this at the same time.
