The core of the group is pretty simple, folks share products, items, and designs that do things we often didn’t even know existed or that we needed. Poor marketing, a saturated consumer market, who knows how many things have stopped us from finding the product that would make our lives easier. But good citizens of the internet have done their part to spread the word.
Despite some of the optimism we often associate with the past, consumerism, as a term, got a more negative connotation pretty early on. By 1960, some magazines and journalists were using it to indicate just how susceptible people were to marketing and how happy they were to spend disposable income onthings they didn’t really need.
Setting aside the psychological impact of trying “retail therapy” the truth is that consumerism isn’t just bad for our wallet and mental state, it’s downright horrible for the planet. Uruguayan American professor and writerJorge Majfud wrote"Trying to reduce environmental pollution without reducing consumerism is like combating drug trafficking without reducing the drug addiction."
