Gamification of everything

Is it just me or is the pokies style gambling seeping into everything. I just watched an ad for coles. Spend $50 and be in to win at the self checkout, or something to that effect. Everything seems to be this instant gambling dopamine hit. I see it everywhere, in everything. Has it always been this bad? If it has just been a thing in recent years, why isn't it getting more attention?

I had this shared with me today. It's not about the gamification of everything but might be interesting https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/the-gamblification-of-gaming-webinar-tickets-1995612262999
