I just consider it as an easy way to make money out of YouTube, can be consooming in terms of "I buy shit just for nothing/sake of it" but just more towards the surface of it. That video has 26 million views at the time I'm posting this and should be more than enough to cover the expenses.
I'd say no in situations like this because it's a business expense more than anything, if they're smart they may even be able to make it a tax write off.
Sure they get a tax write off, but that's just them being myopic. They've removed an item from the pool of available products for others to buy and created a lot of waste for no reason other than to enrich themselves.
Exactly. Having a collection of something you like but you just keep it around to admire, look at, and possibly use is understandable. When you're spending money and become a "collector," then you've got a problem. I'm starting to get what some of you guys were saying earlier in the thread.
You CAN actually make destroy videos and make them work without looking like a rich douche. They’re called teardowns or you carefully strip a piece of tech to show what’s inside and how things work. Usually they’re also put back together to.
nut butter lol
What the hell are squishmallows? The beanie baby for autistic hoarder zoomers?
I don’t mind the controller one. Custom paint shells for controllers are generally pretty cheap for what they are and I can kind of see the novelty of having custom designed hardware like that. Stuffed animal pillows and hello kitty shit, not so much because we’re getting into hoarder territory.
Time is a flat circle..
I dont really think guys who collect muscle cars, coins, old 8bit shit, VHS etc as consoomers. They are out there hunting things down and trading with other collectors. If anything collecting those types of things might even be considered recycling.
It depends. If they actually enjoy collecting these things to actually enjoy them every once in a while or for the sake of actual historical interest, it's real collecting. If they collect them for the sake of having the most expensive or complete collection of something, that's consooming. I've seen some 8-bit collectors actually destroy rare old cartridges for the sole purpose of driving the price up of their collection.
I fell down the hole of comic book figure collectors and it's a legitimate way to make a living. They drop $800 into some shit figure, let it rest, sell it at $1100. Do that a few times a month and you're already growing your collection and making money.
He's so consoomer he filled a container with an iPhone 7 and cockroaches and set them all on fire with molten aluminum
Talk about some of the gaudiest shit you could ever possibly buy. What is with it and these fashion brands consistently making things that feel like you're going to have an epileptic fit if you stare too long?
Years back and now and constantly.
