Online Consumerism Culture is INSANITY (normalized problematic behavior, professional overconsuming)

0:00 hello, it's Tuesday
0:11 the 1812 plot thickens...
0:22 probably not telling you anything new here
0:54 I'm seeing it more and more
1:41 thank you google for answering my question
1:59 the sheer quantity is totally abnormal
2:45 you don't see into so many people's homes in real life that quickly
3:06 and IRL you interact with PEOPLE, not their STUFF
3:24 even if you like someone's shirt...they aren't selling it to you!
3:46 you can sell stuff online just by showing it in the background
4:24 DISCLAIMER TIME?
4:54 humans are programmed to have FOMO
7:06 and it somehow all comes back to material objects
7:25 my friends in real life have not seen my "Stuff" like you can online
7:57 people in real life do not value each other's stuff (ideally)
8:33 having "too much" is now NORMAL
8:43 a couple of comments that kind of reveal this, in my opinion
9:49 my hot take on makeup...?
10:24 we KNOW when we see overconsumption but...
10:30 by seeing it, we raise our own thresholds for consumption!
11:00 if that was my friend's shower I'd have QUESTIONS
12:02 that's inTerEsTinG
12:10 where do we draw the line?
12:45 I know I said people in real life are NOT their stuff but...
14:15 "haul" culture shows us crazy amounts of stuff ALL THE TIME
14:44 summary of THE PROBLEM
14:59 stay tuned for "influencing as a job" chats later
15:06 the distortion of the shopping experience
15:13 it's way too easy
15:25 it's a "gamified" experience
15:47 also "false productivity"
15:55 the reality - no travel, no actual comparing or trying on
16:33 losing the "generic" comparison, value judgement
16:48 thrifting does show you pics of the item
17:13 paying online is just numbers on a screen
18:13 reflecting on everything I was influenced to buy...
18:53 what influencers would say if they were honest
19:19 pause to read another video recommendation
19:49 when I get to share IDEAS, not objects, the connection IS a bit more real
20:05 jumpscare!
