@michalbryxi.mastodon.world.ap.brid.gyI don’t understand the lure of #consumerism. At all. I spend immense hours researching what I want until I hit “buy”. Apart from (some) sports equipment virtually everything I own is second hand. I let go of things pretty much the minute I realise it was a mistake and they don’t serve me well.

@michalbryxi.mastodon.world.ap.brid.gyWhen we talk about #consumerism my scarcity brought up me thinks “cute, they bought one too many cups that will never get used”. But I guess some people (cultures?) swim in objective cr*p they know won’t use. But somehow owning == happiness.
@sadisticpenguin.bsky.socialThat trendy product everyone's talking about? Turns out 'The Stuff' is more about slick ads than a clear understanding of what's actually inside. Looks good, but what are we really consuming? #consumerism

@zglobalvision.bsky.socialConsumerism is more than shopping: buying can shape identity and status.

@vibhanshusharma.bsky.socialUS consumers spend far more on things like clothing and home decor monthly than Indian consumers ever would. This difference in spending habits is a significant factor in the trade deficit. #consumerism #economics
@tobyvue.bsky.socialBuy Nothing New Month: "Most gifts are unnecessary, come in wrapping that gets thrown away, bring momentary 'buzz' and are cool for a hot minute.

@growmybag.tvTurns out, the consumer doesn't have the resilience everyone talks about. The bulk of people are in the lower part of the K-curve, with limited disposable income. Those aren't the consumers with deep pockets. #economics #consumerism

@stephgirl1.bsky.socialA noticeable shift: people are becoming more intentional. They're asking what they're putting into their bodies, what products they use, and what choices support their lifestyle. This opens doors for companies that offer genuine value and build trust. #intentionality #consumerism
