We live in an experience economy and because of social media conspicuous consumption is at an all time high.

I have noticed that many in my generation
appear to derive pleasure from external affirmation
of experience, rather than experience itself.
An obvious example of this can be found on social media,
like Facebook.
People are essentially manufacturing experiences
for the sole purpose of sharing them.
The trend also manifests in Booktube,
where it seems that the readers are more pleased
by playing games with popular books
than actually reading the books.
Is social media the primary cause of this,
or has it simply brought it into a more apparent light?

I have noticed that many in my generation (I'm 19) appear to derive pleasure from external affirmation of experience, rather than experience itself. An obvious example of this can be found in the drinking parties, like those by Agathon. People are essentially manufacturing experiences for the sole purpose of sharing them. The trend also manifests when men exercise at the gymnasiums, where it seems that they are more pleased by viewing another person or themselves exercising than actually exercising. Are gatherings of manliness the primary cause of this, or has it simply brought it into a more apparent light?

Oh! I've seen that video before. I liked the music very much. I am a bit envious and displeased with those two models because it seems as if they are not using their youth for something productive. However, they can live their life the way they like.
