I found this youtube talk a while back. It's given by a consultant who's selling these skills and has slides titled "Use of coercive monitization".

Some of the more disturbing parts are when he highlights forum posts about targeting whales and people who say things like "I have to do every challenge and every side quest and it takes away from my enjoyment of the game" and "I've restarted this game hundreds of times because my character isn't perfect".
