Plagued Consoomers / Consoomer Culture - Because if it has a recogniseable brand on it, I’d buy it!

[Doctor of Autism]

its a philosophical question about consooming secondhand vs consooming only new

Nigga this thread has been plagued by annoying philosophy debates that are just there to make people less insecure about their purchases, this thread is to document and make fun of dumbass consumers.

This is by far my most hated types of content in all of internet. "I bought *insert overpriced bullshit!!!".

This faggot's channel has a bajillion views and this is basically all he does, netting millions of views. His entire channel and many similar channels can be resumed "i bought..." . I bought is definitely up there as one of most cringe inducing search term on youtube.

MrBeast is honestly weird since he has a shit ton of money he somehow has in every video and just gives it away, starts some businesses, and just flexes it all the time to show how "charitable" he is.

I think this series, Totally Obsessed, honestly does a good job documenting some weird ass consoomers who have some mental issue as they only buy shit related to a product they like and let it consume their life.

I hate how crossovers have become the epitome of CONSOOOM. They used to be cool things that didn't happen usually, but nope, thanks to stuff like the MCU, crossovers are always happening. Things have to be connected to each other for brand value. It's become very bland, and causes a big tone difference in a lot of media.

My brother called me the other day to inform me that he just paid $128.00 for a pair of flip-flops that are made in Hawaii. I nearly dropped the phone. I have a ton of respect for him as a man and a father, but as a consoomer, he's gold metal winning retarded. I have given him a ton of shit over his purchase, as has my other brother. We informed him that our max-out limit for flip flops is $6 to $9.

You laugh but he's bought the ultimate weapon. Would you wield a Saturday night special chancla?

There it is! The Pac-Man guy! Like, he fucking drives around parking lots shouting "PAC-MAN!" The look on his face is best described as "zero chill whatsoever"

I can sort of get this type of content.

With $100 000 ice cream, yeah you know it's a gimmick, it's not worth even close to $100k, but still... one does kind of wonder what's in it, what it tastes like, what would make someone even want it. That the guy is a smarmy prick works in his favour- it's vicariously experiencing the ridiculous products and comes with a built-in hatewatching trollshield. The hook is that it's something you wouldn't do. It's like how everyone and their sister says they hate the Kardashians, yet they're stupid rich and all over everything.

I agree though that in most cases, it doesn't work. Mundane stuff that most people that aren't dirt poor could buy just isn't that interesting. "I bought EVERY TYPE OF CHEESECAKE AT CHEESECAKE FACTORY"... anyone can do that and most flavours are just slight variations of each other.

Also we finally made it almost a page without discussing Funko Pops or posters Reddit-tier begging for people to tell them that their collecting isn't consooming.

You laugh but he's bought the ultimate weapon. Would you wield a Saturday night special chancla?

I remember ages ago there was some company that made bro flip flops with a bottle opener in the sole, which is the most absolutely haram thing ever.

I miss MrBeast when he was just doing those "Worst Intros on YouTube" videos

He even has the soyface.

The most depressing thing about this is that putting a soy face on your video thumbnail is a proven way to increase your views by 10-15%. I think it was Linus from LTT who was talking about how much he fucking hates doing it but he has no option because he feels an obligation to bring in the money to pay his employees.

It is now soy, not sex, that sells.

Funny thing is, Mr. Beast gets a pass because of all of his charitable donations that he used to do post-2019/2020. And as a guy who used to watch his channel trying to figure out the trends that he’s done, we then can’t get too shocked that he’s gone the family-friendly route with consumerism.

Kids love that stuff.

How could I forget, the unltimate consoomers:

Consoom brand of apparel with brands on them. I always saw it as the least dignified thing a human being can do, willingly plaster brand names all over himself, his physical appearance predominantly displaying brand loyalty.

This reminded me of those guys who are holyfuckingshittingly obsessed with the sports clubs they follow and are always wearing some kind of apparel. Often you'll see the club's merch everywhere in the subject's house.

For instance, my uncle is obsessed with a football club from my city, complete with having an official fan club subscription that, among other advantages, offers special discounts in more merch and also let him attend matches in a special area of the local stadium (a World Cup host at that), at least before the coof hit us big time. Every other time we visit him, or he visits us, he's wearing the club's shirt, one of many he has. Hell, I myself got him a vintage club shirt for his birthday not too long ago, so guilty as charged for indulging him as well.

Has sports-related consoomerism been discussed in this thread?

 

[GentlemanFaggot]

The Boo Berry guy is the owner of I-Mockery and although he does love the cereal, he's doing a bit here for humor and isn't really a deranged consoomer.

It's kind of awkward watching though considering how bad things got for him in recent years though. Especially since his wife who committed suicide is in the video.

This one is pretty funny since this is literally just the release date and title logo of almost all the marvel movies. I'm sure sooner or later it's gonna end up as a muu muu.

It looks like the clothes from Idiocracy

IIRC the pac man guy was the same in terms of just playing up his love for the sake of a bit. Turtles girl was 100% legit though I think and has like some fucking weird TMNT fanfic thing.

Between talking about funko pops and people coming in and asking if they're a consoomer for buying 1-2 luxury items I believe we haven't actually talked about sports consoomers or really digged into consoomers like hypebeasts really

I don't know about any fanfiction, but she does have her own website (archive) and YouTube channel about TMNT which she has maintained somewhat regularly.

This bitch, unironically, genuinely, bona fide believes wearing an oversized chain LV monstrosity is gonna make her look skinny.
Or maybe I'm giving her too much credit to actually have the mental aptitude to hold a belief, and what she says is simply a vacuous statement driven by biological impulses, spoken for the sake of expelling CO2 into the atmosphere.

 

[Dick Justice]

It's literally an ad. In a just world they'd have to pay people to wear this shit.

To be fair, that's kinda true about most all branded clothing be it with a band logo or the logo of the clothing company.

Just in case anybody forgot.

 

[Dangerhair]

What gets me is how just about every consoomer's copium is "My collection is worth X"

No, it isn't.

A consoomer may have $20k of plastic crap from China retail, but that doesn't mean they could re-sell it for that.

Look at this fucker:
