Max has been pretty open with the fact that sometimes hes just fuckin miserable. I was watching his opening videos back when filthy frank was getting properly into music and youtube had the addpocalypse.
I have a rule that I don't upgrade a phone the price gets down to 40 dollars or less. I still have a smart phone, but this prevents me from wasting money/being consoomer bleeding edge for no reason.
I got this principle "If you disturb my entertainment with ads, I'm not buying from you". Usually adblock everything, but I don't know how to adblock the TV I use a projector. Ads on youtube, not live TV (don't have that)
Yeah there isn't a great solution for Smart TVs/media centers. You can have a media center with Kodi on it, but I hate their YT app. But even then, you can't escape those awful middle of the video ads YT e-celebs are starting to put in (see James Rolfe for instance). On desktop, I use FreeTube which I curate to have no suggestions, no 'trending' (a big area they pump propaganda at you from), no sidebar. I search for what I care about and don't get harassed.
Kirk Hammet himself says he uses lime green guitar picks because he drops them on the black stage and can't find them otherwise. He doesn't even use picks like that he just takes the fat chunk of money from the pick company and they manufacture some cheap Chinese plastic with his name on it for boomer dads. If you think about it, it's a good gig. Any 80s-90s aging rock star or washed up actor can get a quick cash infusion by giving signing away the rights to their name/likeness to some random company. Next up, the lori Laughlin funko pop.
While I have made a thread about what is consoomerism but I think a thread should be made on that.
I think there can be a difference. I can definitely tell the difference between a pair of five buck buds and a better pair, but I always felt like diminishing returns come in pretty fast, especially once you start getting past the "better drivers" phase and in to anything involving vacuum tubes.
Go to Disney After Hours if you want to see some shit. I went to the Hall of Presidents around midnight or so and the CM running the pre-show was a troon that was making fun of the attraction.
How Keemstar does not know about game emulation or torrents yet is the long time host of Drama Alert on covering e-celeb drama on the Internet is the biggest thunk-provoking moment I’ve had about him after looking at this picture.One of the more interesting consoomers is Maxmoefoe. Yeah I know he opens things because of his youtube grift but I guess getting wealthy so young makes you empty towards anything other than your childhood. Here he is opening 500 packs to pull one single rare card.
Opening 500 Pokemon Burning Shadows Booster Packs! (Rainbow Charizard)

Here is Keemstar also collecting Panasonic 3DO games for god knows what reason. I've also heard him mention that he has a complete GameCube game collection but he couldn't find the source.
For normal people who just like listening to music, barring noise cancellation (which will obviously cost more) I think audio quality caps at around $150. $300 is where the diminishing returns drop off a cliff.
I'd watch an Internet Historian ad any time.
And another Congolese child earned enough money to for his family to buy medicine so his little brother doesn't fucking die of a tiny cut that got infected, and another's father earns enough so he can go to school, and a little girl isn't sold into slavery because the family has no other option in order to put food on the table, and a village isn't massacred just for the sheer meanness of it because they earn enough from cobalt to bribe whatever fucked up "people's" movement is terrorizing them this year. What of it, being poor as shit dicks has always sucked and presented you with no options, globalism has very little to do with that state of affairs.
Brands emerged at the dawn of civilization so people would know the quality of whatever good they were buying and there's 2,000 year old examples of Greeks and Romans putting their names on products. For all we know, there was some guy in the Roman Empire obsessed with vases or hammers made by a certain craftsman or who knew and collected every flavor of salt mined in whatever province. And maybe he had a wife or daughter obsessed with collecting makeup and cosmetics. Human nature never changes.
Kind of. But there's been actual brands as we know them today for centuries because a lot of those craftsmen were in a family business so they'd keep using the family name or business name on their products.
