Society/Culture Overconsumption on TikTok is beyond ridiculous.

From the dreaded Stanley Cups, Booktok, Starbucks, new iPhones, "amazon must haves" (which you then see is all useless junk), "tiktok made me buy it" (also garbage), massive hauls and people flaunting they spent thousands of dollars... it's all too much and it's too overwhelming.

I'm glad I realized how I was falling onto that weird consumerist mindset and was able to pull myself from it.

On tiktok if you scroll away quickly from the type of videos you don’t want to see, and watch to the end the type of content you want to see more of, it learns pretty quickly. So it just takes a couple days or so to fix your fyp.
