I mean people wouldnt do it if there wasnt any pros.

I'm a bitoy fan and this was kind of a miss for me. I enjoyed it but starbucks isnt it. There has been some sort of nihilistic shift with late millenials and gen z in terms of money. That it should just be spent because we are all fucked anyways. Whats a cup of coffee anyways? Anong point ng savings mo when yung value ng kape na gusto mo dati magincrease na naman presyo.

Sana dinagdagan niya on social climbing kasi I get people just want to spend their money on things they like just to get away from the very real problems we are facing (e.g. incessant corruption and climate change)

I guess one pro I can think of you know people from varrying backgrounds usually these types of people have many stories to tell

I've never been a fan of Michael V so obviously I'm not going to like this parody. His opinions remind me of the average Filipino internet user na ramblings without much intellect or awareness and reek of privilege. Like his post calling out collectors for not wearing the shoes they buy and just display it. Or those tacky "Ako at ang Ina" series that satirizes internet memes but through the lens of a boomer who don't get it.

Ang low effort na target ng Starbucks. It hasn't been a symbol of "prestige" for more than a decade now and most of the gripes regarding those who indulge in it are presumptuous. Pano mo alam na yung bumibili dun clout lang habol? Ang dami dami na mga coffee chains and drinks that are in the same price point as SB. Just because pinipilahan ng marami yung sa Tagaytay, doesn't mean they want to be "cool" — I don't think nakakita ako ng drive-thru SB na hindi blockbuster ang pila. St. Charbel, San Fernando, Malolos, West Ave, lahat yan mahaba. Masahol talaga diyan, Tagaytay e. Even the shittiest restaurant there will have tons of patrons, lol.

Internet points.
