Ok not sure if this is the place to post this as it's not job specific but.....

I keep seeing this ad for a company named (I think) DePop? Basic premise of the ad is a girl tells her friend that she can't hang out this weekend because she's broke. Her friend tells her to try this app/website called DePop(?) so she can sell some stuff, thus giving her the money to hang out with her friends. I mean WHAT. THE. FUCK!?! Am I going crazy or does this just seem like more social programming to normalize literally anything else other than any of us being paid a living wage!? Oh and side note, I also keep seeing links to articles talking about the alcohol industry losing an absolute fuck ton of money due to Gen Z apparently not drinking as much along with shocked pikachu face questions asking why this is .Yet nobody seems to want to state the obvious which is that nobody has any money any more and that drinking is expensive. For context, I'm Gen X and have all but given up drinking, solely because it's costing too much.

Why can't people see through such obvious bullshit?
