and almost two-thirds of Millennials say they follow luxury brands on social networks. And almost as many, 75% and 63%, say they have bought something after seeing it on a social network. YouTube and TikTok are the most popular sites for this.
Even the rush of big fashion houses into the metaverse probably won't change this. More than six out of ten people who have heard of the metaverse say they want to buy luxury goods through this new channel.

This is the explanation, social media. It's become a malignant tumor that's inflicting irreparable damage on society. From polarization to hyperconsumerism to privacy invasion, it doesn't really end.

Just an observation, it seems the loudest group against capitalism also seem to be the group that spends the most money on luxurious items. You'd think a group of angry socialists wouldn't be so attached to materialistic items of wealth.
