Redditor hoarding inks with post comments ranging from "Your descendants will still be trying to use up that collection!" to "Thanks for making me feel less bad, about the amount of inks I have!"

This may be an unpopular opinion but I think one is enough.

Man these fountain pen nerds drive me nuts. They'll have the same model of a $110 pen in different colorways. Fountain pens are cool, you can get a good one for like $3, and enough ink for it for years for $10. It's nuts that this has become this unreal dragon hoarding of inks that are gonna go bad.

I can understand the urge of seeing a pretty color and thinking "well, I don't have a purple ink yet..." or "well, this one is a dark green and I only have a light green" but once you think rationally about it, all of that ink takes a while to use and in my experience, a small bottle can last a whole year of daily journaling, if not more (obviously, each person writes a different amount so it might be different give or take). You'd think at some point the fountain pen enthusiasts would realize they have far more than they could ever possibly use, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

That’s why I like companies that sell samples. I can get a 1ml sample of a pretty ink and enjoy it to the fullest and empty the ink thing. I’m usually tired of the color by then anyway.

I know it's common fan behavior, but the way people spend on their favorite actor or singer's merchandise is crazy. I stumbled upon this account today of a fan of the actors Pruk Panich and NuNew. She buys a bunch of merch related to them and the one guy's fashion brand. Sometimes she picks it up from other fans in Thailand that hold it for her, other times she ships it to the USA. I can understand buying a few things from a beloved celebrity, especially if it's cute merch, but at some point, it becomes excessive. It doesn't help that it seems like celebrity culture has really accelerated these days and every celebrity is selling his or her own line of random stuff. Even when I go to the supermarket, I see celebrity branded foods for sale.

Unreal.
I agree with you about merch. Usually merch sucks and is generic crap anyway. Like oh a redbubble tshirt upcharged $40? Sign me up. I remember seeing reviewbrah had merch and I frankly expected some kind of suit endorsement or hair pomade, but… it’s a shitty hoodie. Like what? Who wants that?

I don't understand why so many people strive to feel as though they live in a store instead of a home.

I think this is actually useful?
