Picture this: you are just strolling in the city, surrounded by shops with bright neon lights, which are calling out to you. You enter a shop, buy something (or some things), and you go home with your pocket a little lighter.
It’s only then that you realize you didn’t even need the thing, yet you bought it. Well, folks online are condemning such things that people buy, which are completely useless, or even harmful. You might look at some of these and find yourself nodding in agreement with the netizens. Just scroll down to find out what they are!

New phones every 1-2 years. Phones have plateaued as far as performance goes, and with many phone manufacturers promising years of security updates, it makes more sense to hang on to a phone for a few years. Save your money - and if the battery is going bad, it's actually surprisingly cheap to have it replaced. I have an S23 ultra, and before that had the S9+. Only reason I made the jump was because of a solid pre-order deal for the S23.

Cardboard boxes for moving.
I got mine for free. Then gave them away for free. We should all be doing this all the time.

Toilet wet wipes. Aside from being terrible for the environment, they're also wreaking havoc on critical sanitation infrastructure. They don't even get you any cleaner.

I can’t resist their $1 iced sugar free French vanilla coffee in the morning. It’s my kryptonite.

Whatever you do buy, you shouldn't buy it from Amazon whenever you can avoid it.
