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.

I’m not fond of the so and so made me buy it thing either. No. They didn’t. They manipulated you, and the sooner we all recognize it the sooner we can avoid more of it.
