Everyone here knows that. But we're discussing why there's a problem. Awful self-control is another contributing issue. And, yeah, people are to blame. But also if you look around, a whole lot of marketing and social pressure is designed to exploit and exacerbate that.

Binge viewing, FOMO marketing, gambling being quietly slid into everything, excess dressed up as "self-care," etc. It's all intended to normalize impulsiveness and conspicuous consumption. Marketing switched from praising the product to leveraging the consumers' flaws.
