speaking of which, here come the holidays, and with them i presume many many videos where people show off the "hauls" they got from places like temu and wish of things they plan on gifting their friends and family
because the only thing worse than being gifted a 1 dollar gimmicky plastic claw machine off a chinese excess website, is having that person brag on the internet about how little they cared when deciding to buy it for you

I don't know what is worse: The landfill fodder Temu hauls or the insanely expensive advent Calendar reviews.
Maybe I am just old and grumpy, but advent calendars used to be a piece of chocolate for each day until Christmas and not a pre Christmas gift parade (and definitely not more expensive than the average gift). Not to mention that most of these things are just brands ripping off their customers and putting cheap shit into shiny boxes.

Also the dumb faces trend in the thumbnails needs to fucking die.

My mother watches a handful of those (ugh), but claims the woman she watches who reviews these things does it with the explicit purpose of proving how worthless and overpriced they are (going as far as to look up pricing of individual included items to prove they're acquired on-the-cheap and then marked up to absurd heights).

As expected, they're fucking ripoffs. $500 "advent kits" sold, containing about $40 worth of actual product if bought separately. Every asshole making these things (and shilling them) deserves their place against the wall when the revolution comes.

Even garden centres are selling completely empty cardboard advent calendars you fill yourself, that you can’t reuse due to the flimsy cardboard and perforations, for £10 ($13). I feel sad thinking about some old lady buying one for a grandchild and not noticing that it’s empty. I miss when advent calendars had pretty pictures inside, even the chocolate ones are either terrible quality or overpriced.

Holy shit, that is a new level of rip-off. I bought a wooden calendar for my nieces that wasn't much more (15 or 16€) and we've been using it since they were in preschool (they are teens now). And I get it, inflation and shit, but single use cardboard shouldn't ever cost that much. There are filled ones that cost less.
How many people bought it because they thought they could save some money and produce less trash longterm, just to find out this is single use after it was opened?

Nintendo got away with selling this bullshit for $80 years ago:

It's probably more than "single use," but does anybody really think that paper piano is going to last more than one or two "sessions"?

When this shit went on clearance at Walmart I bought one of everything at like, 60% off. I am leaving it completely unopened and I've got the entire set thrown in one of the airtight plastic containers in my garage. I am convinced that 30 years from now I can sell it to whatever mutant soyfaggots exist on YouTube 3.0 so they can unbox a pristine Labo set to their retard followers, because none of this cardboard shit was built to last so how much of it will have survived that long?

And if not then I don't care. I paid like $50 for all this shit and if it's worth nothing in 30 years then whatever. I'll throw it out.

They won’t remove it. And it’s an automatic account ban if you criticize it. Chris Hansen did a documentary about it and they removed it bc they said it was CSAM despite only consisting of YouTube footage. Those accounts are also sponsored by major brands….

There's a "modeling academy" in my home shithole called "Academia Belankazar".

Everyone and their mother knows its a CSAM and child prostitution ring, people have gone to jail for those charges associated with that place, every few years a new wave of exposure comes but its never closed, they seem very well connected.

They still advertise freely on youtube and instagram with suggestive material of children , no matter how many thousands of reports they get from people these sites never do anything. I think once they suspended the channel due to mass reports but then shortly after went back up same as always.

It's easy to know if it was a store or a single person: how many duplicates did they have?

Tax write off. Can’t sell them for eBay market price, but you CAN find comps from the last year and donate them to charity. Depending on their financial situation and investment into them it might be viable.
 
A friend of mine has introduced me to perhaps the most prolific Fallout consumer perhaps ever: VaultNostalgia (A). Here are some choice clips from him.




The best part is that this guy is desperate to get on the set of the Fallout TV show, so much so that he quit his job behind the cameras at Hollywood to become a background extra full time!

I saw a video saying the new thing to do online is to act like QVC/home shopping and bring on guests. I haven't really seen an actual video do it .... yet. But they're basically already there.

If you ever go to a Disney theme park, randos will be set up in gift shops trying to hock wares on livefeeds. It's to a point that even Disney Adults don't want to shop in the gift shops anymore.

I'm a bit shocked Disney actually tolerates that. Usually the fastest way to get thrown out of a Disney property is to fuck with the cash flow.

They're technically just buying from the gift shop, so their money isn't being disrupted. I just can't see it going for much longer with how sour it's making actual park goers.
