This guy’s yt channel just makes me cringe whenever I see his videos pop up on my feed. It’s just shameless conspicuous consumption. He’s by no means the only one, but he’s one of the few faces I immediately associate with it.
Totally! A few years ago I ate all this garbage up like it was nothing. I loved watching his videos and often found myself being hyped over some new product just after watching his videos, it was fckn crazy. It's disgusting and soulless and everything's just so flashy, exciting and funny in his vids. Look, I bought even more metric tons of stuff I won't ever need, do the same! 16.1 million ppl seem to like that.. Of course there's even more content creators like him, which makes this even more sad, but I also feel like he's the flashiest and most significant one, for me it felt so at least.
