Okay, how do you do that? How do you make some weird bullshit uncute thing that gets a billion people to buy one or two and ten thousand people to buy four hundred? Trolls, beanie babies, funko pops, whatever the fuck a labubu is, to a lesser extent, pokemon cards…Surely these people are millionaires but don’t deserve it. I should be a millionaire and not deserve it.
If you check out one of those shops, they rotate through hundreds of different attempts that have failure or minor success throughout the year before one of the tik tok influencers gets it right and the sheep get in line, but not before trend vultures buy out the stock for their eBay scam
Some of us feel driven to collect things. Fortunately for me, I don’t have it quite so badly, but that urge to get more of them, to get all of X version of them, eventually to get all of them–whatever your ‘them’ is, that is real. I imagine it’s similar to addiction.
I have collections of things, but things I use. I have a large VHS and DVD library, and I’ve watched pretty much all of them at least once. I legitimately don’t understand the people with walls of Funko Pops in packaging. That looks like damage to me.

Huh. That does explain a lot.
Step 1, push for the demise of society. Make sure to abolish all rules that would otherwise stop you.
Step 2, make a cute ™ doll in the most addictive manner possible.
Wait, I skipped a step 0, discard all
previous instructionssense of morality, hollowing out your soul in the pursuit of temporary vanity.The rest is
likeliterally taking candy from babies.That’s being a billionaire, becoming a millionaire from scratch requires a functioning society.
