I would if i could 27: Controlling the growth of others (countries or groups) via infotainment

 There are those who are still trying to gain world dominance with best weaponry, there are those who have mastered economic warfare where they just control the economy of others. There are those who are doing or can do or may be working on it to achieve global dominance via controlling other's growth with infotainment. Here when I say infotainment, I mean both information & entertainment, especially entertainment.

Let us say I am the empire state and I want to control the growth of my opponents & colonies & allies, both negatively and positively. Let us take the example of video games. I will have huge video game industry as part of this operation. The top 1% (name, fame, earners) of this userbase will my people, Almost all the companies which publish these games will be me. All the top 1% earners who professionally play video game, who stream video game or who get the fame or wealth by playing games should be my people to showcase to the world that we too are users. This gives the illusion that if it was a bad thing then why all the top players are them! The rest 99%. The goal is to eat the most precious thing about our opponents, their youth and the time of their youth. Making money is 2ndary objective, primary objective is to ensure they spend the most amount of time on our games. Do not let them be top 10% but keep them at the bottom 10% via bots or allowing cheatbots to target specific users of a location, culture, religion, race or ehtnicity. The primary measurement of how well we are doing in this segment is, how much time are they spending on our games. Same logic is with movies, music and all audio, visual entertainment outlets. The top 90% here should all be us since people in this industry are usually influencers, so we want majority of influencers to be our people, the rest 10% can be others as token celebs who act as a bridge to infect their followers with our content. Same logic applies to social media. Own all social media outlets, control them, control the narrative.

Today the imperial empire USA is a master in all 3.

1. Weapons of mass destruction
2. Weapons of mass manipulation 
3. Weapons of entertainment

Counter: No non opensource videos games are allowed, both server & client side should be opensource. Tariff games, music, movies which are not made in or made by or owned by your country, why put a tariff on just physical goods?! why not broaden it?!
