    I think the arguments about direct psychological harm are a bit overblown. A bipolar person, like the one interviewed, who’s buying a bunch of these blind boxes because they’re manic likely isn’t experiencing suicidal ideation because of the blind boxes but the bipolar depression on the other side. Sure you’ll see correlation there, but not causation. That said, a business making big profits on poor decisions made by manic folks is intrinsically exploitative.
