The holiday season isn’t known for the spirit of giving, of compassion, of care; it’s known for its spirit of overconsumption. In light of the intense amount of influencing being done during the holiday season, by ads, online creators, or something else entirely, I thought I’d make a video deinfluencing all of you from buying things you don’t want or need. I took submissions from all of you two weeks ago, so here is the long-awaited video reading (most) of them! Let me know if I helped you, or if you liked this video! I hope you all enjoy the video!
