MODERATORS
The companies selling you junk are using psychology to make you buy their products. They have boiled down what makes you consume more, and what doesn't to a science.
You are bombarded 24/7 with ads and pressured to buy shit you don't need all the time so that the profits keep growing. This is 100% the corporations' fault
This is why nowadays, you see the same budget for marketing as the development of a product or service.
Remove the ads everywhere, and you will see consumption decrease.
