It’s odd and funny how, nowadays, the new “trend” is for a lot of luxury/fashion YTubers to “shut down their channels” or to shift to featuring other topics that don’t talk about their luxury hauls. Obviously, if you are biting more than you could actually chew, there will come a time that you will need to puke these all out! You can’t have luxury hauls forever if you really don’t have the money to sustain such a lifestyle..you can only do so for so long…..but then the truth will be revealed eventually! Thus, the shut-down of some of these channels! Who and how many can really afford five to six figure (in USD) unboxings each month? And truthfully, those that can afford to buy a new Chanel Couture dress and a new Chanel bag and shoes each month and donate huge amounts to Charity balls don’t post it themselves online and don’t have a YT/IG account for that. A lot of wealthy (especially those that have multi-generational wealth) people that I know of actually want to “hide” what they have. With kidnappings, break-ins at home, and lawsuits, they don’t actually want to be identified as well-heeled nor would they want their “wealth status” to be confirmed by the public thru flaunting their possessions, even when it’s already super obvious and that their family name already smells like affluence and old money. They already know that even if they wore tattered old jeans and buy in a convenience store, the world already knows that they are wealthy just by mentioning their last name! They do not need to buy another designer bag, they don’t need to unbox anything new and grand, they don’t need to have their own channel, nor do they need to mention that they are rich! Their yacht, jet plane, buildings, and school building that the family donated with their grandfather’s name, already do that for them (even if they want to be low-key)!
There is nothing wrong in liking and buying expensive and designer items. Buy because you truly like it and can afford it. Not because you were “influenced” by someone you don’t know online. The “opulent lifestyle” that they show, the continuous unboxings and materialism that is being shared by a lot of them is usually far from their truth and their actual financial capacity. Even the uber rich have budgets. They wouldn’t become comfortable and well-to-do if they were foolish about money and spending.
which is pretty bad in case an item is damaged. Also, I know people who buy things and wait a month or two to open them as presents for themselves even.
