My answer again, Fast Fashion and putting a lot of money into completely useless (plastic, mass produced) junk. General unconscious consumerism.

Similar question was asked pretty recently.

Reposting my earlier comment because lazy and don't wanna rewrite:

Fast fashion.

Unconscious consumption in general. People are pouring crazy amounts of money into plastic garbage, “collectibles”, general useless and unnecessary junk, lifestyle products etc. Then they defend it with a flippant “lol intrusive thoughts won UwU”. I wouldn’t even mind so much if it wasn’t too often the case that these same people also complain about environmental issues and capitalism.

“but but i’m a magpie, I’m a loot goblin” is just normalizing the behavior, trying to make it cute. It’s not. You’re very directly contributing to the increasing waste problem in the world and giving money to megacorps (think plastic production in particular). If you absolutely must do this, find products made of natural materials, produced by real people. Yes, it’ll cost more. Yes, that’s the real price of your obsession.

No. In this video a dude is explaining to you how your clothes are also being enshittified by capitalism and how marketing is covering it up.
