Came from the Netherlands 3 years ago, based in KL now. One thing I did not expect was how normalized certain types of online platforms are here compared to back home — streaming, mobile gaming, and yeah, online casino stuff too. Back in Europe it's almost a conversation you have in private. Here coworkers mention it casually at lunch. Someone brought up EU9 Asia the other week like they were talking about Netflix. No big deal energy. I'm not judging it, just genuinely interesting to observe. The platforms themselves seem more localized too — regional payment methods, local language support, crypto options. Feels like a different market entirely. Is this consistent across SEA or more of a Malaysia thing? Curious if people in Bangkok or Jakarta have the same experience. submitted by /u/Jasebase87 [link] [comments]
