While part of social media is already being bombarded with ideas of clothes hauls bought in sales, the other is asking people to stop and appreciate what they already own.
If you've checked your emails or scrolled through social media lately, you will likely have been bombarded with emails and ads about Black Friday sales. As the fictional Australian character Darryl Kerrigan once proved, it can be hard to resist a bargain. "If you get ‘em for half price, it’s a bargain,” he said in the film The Castle while considering the purchase of a secondhand pair of jousting sticks.
Content creators began offering negative feedback on items, calling out over-hyped products and even suggesting cheaper alternatives to high-end makeup and skincare ranges. Shasha Wang, a senior lecturer in the school of advertising, marketing and public relations at the Queensland University of Technology, said there is a growing number of people on social media who are urging people to put greater consideration into their purchases.
