      The tiktok-ification of fucking everything into a trend is the worst in regards to this. The last few years, it feels like any time I’m interested in picking up a hobby that seems like it would/should be cheap and simple to get into, tiktokers have already blown through, turned something into a ‘-core’ for content, and left nothing but over-inflated prices in their wake.
