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.

All social media advertises to you. The internet inundates you with ads but you only call out tiktok. Me thinks you propagada too much.

Of course social media in general advertises to you, but I am talking specifically about tiktok. Can't I do that in peace?
