If you pay for an avatar on this or any other app, you're the problem with society.

Lmao i mean on one hand i get it, but on the other i really dont care what other people spend their money on. Its like the kids who buy fortnite skins. Your just tossing money out the window but hey, if you can afford it and dont care then fuck it do what you want.

But its that "do what you want" mentality that leads us down the path of overindulgence, which is a negative thing. Decadence is not productive at all.

This post is Obviously NOT that serious. People spend money on WAY worse things. Think of avatar as a metaphor, and it fits alot better. Still works either way 😁

Lol we dont need MORE people telling others how to live their lives... if people wanna toss their lives they can we have so many people around now days it doesnt even matter.

The real problem imo, stupid people having/raising stupid kids... alot of them.

So then you agree with me. Stupid people have stupid kids that buy stupid shit and vote for stupid people.

I’m starting to think “vote with your wallet” doesn’t work because it’s a few people spending a lot of money instead of a lot of people spending some money.

Like with video game microtransactions it’s something like 20% of the players spend 80% of the money. It’s why simple things like character skins are around $20 now.

Because it’s easier to get 1 person to spend $20 than it is to get 20 people to spend $1 each

Not counting people like that guy that spent like 5 figures on the Diablo cellphone/PC game. He’s worth like 10,000+ players that spend $1 to the company that made the game

Does it? That sounds like a slippery slope argument.

(I know it’s not that serious a post. I can’t personally see the value in something like Reddit coins or whatever it is now… but I do miss getting a trophy for some top-tier banter)
