I thought I was immune until I got sucked into some game where you battle with teams of players you collect and fight other players. There was some element of sending your titans to mine resources as well, but I forget the name of the game, but spent over $500 in it.

I literally uninstall any game that has gems, emeralds, coins that can be bought to speed things up.

I put 5 dollars into the clash of clans card game, realized they could very easily have had me for more, turned off the game, uninstalled, and never looked back (I don't think I even used the currency I had purchased).

It was a good moment of realization, glad I got out for 5 dollars.

They could've made so much more with all the permissions I'd given them XD
