Edit: what is going on with image uploading these days
Reddit cringe for me is something like making a food post where you’ve carefully taken your pictures to show off what beer your drinking, what music you listen to, and what movie you have on so that everyone knows how cool you are.
I hate that I have to point this out, but your describing commodity fetishism. They think the items possess a cool quality which by possessing they can absorb.
A bit dated, but I’m sure everyone here knows the fedora stereotype but it’s peak reddit thought. These cool guys wear a fedora so fedoras must be an item cool guys wear meaning if I wear a fedora I’ll be a cool guy.
It’s the same stupid mentality applied to everything they do from stock buying, to hyper focused efforts on hobbies. It’s this desperate class driven anxiety about their social place causing them to fetishize objects around them.
Apple built their entire company on this.
They have $192 billion cash in the bank right now.
Could not possibly bring myself to care about this.
I guess I don’t see the issue? He made a cool thing to make a minor vice more enjoyable and interactive.
This is day-and-night from early 2000s Facebook weed guys who’d post grainy photos of their mids and wear a 420 adidas hat everywhere.
