[quote=Anonymous]You have to get off that part of social media. It’s vapid and silly, and I think at least 25% if not more of the “over-consumption” content is rage bait. They don’t care if you praise their decorations, Disney trips, Stanley water bottle collection, whatever. Or if you write a big screed in the comments decrying it. All that matters is your eyeballs were on their video or pictures and you interacted with something they made. It’s $$$ and attention all the same and that’s all they care about.

But most regular people aren’t like this, regardless of income level. You need to block, thumbs down, not interested all this type of content and re-tune your social media to more positive content. If it’s someone you know who is spending and posting like crazy, mute them on whatever network. It’s not an easy/instant fix because the algorithms are designed to keep you in a loop of content that you interact with, for good or for bad. But you can get there eventually. Also the economy is going down the tubes, Gen Z has a lot less buying power and isn’t having as many children, and I’ve already seen less “buy all this random nonsense from Amazon and Temu” content than I did maybe 2 years ago.
