Honestly, staying away from "gacha" (and most, if not all, kinds of microtransactions) is just common sense at this point.

I also try to do interesting things that are productive (studying certain topics, writing code, etc). I'd like to think that anyone can find a hobby like that (playing a musical instrument looks like could work for a lot of people, for example), although judging from some people I've met, maybe I'm wrong. What I'm pretty sure of is that discipline can be learned, and that certain level of discipline is needed at least to kickstart a hobby.

Gachas at least always contain an item, and a real one at that - not to mention they always list all the possible contents ahead of time. Quite a bit better than microtransactions on most platforms.
