TikTok's 'Amazon Must-Haves' Are Ridiculous

I think what makes me the angriest about these videos is you KNOW for a FACT they were *only* bought for content, and not because they actually NEEDED any of these items. They just wanted their viral moment, then they throw whatever they bought away, or they never use it again; leaving it to collect dust for years...

I’m disabled, and I must say, some of these items would help me in my day to day life. HOWEVER, some of these items (like that Stanley cup bowl thing???) I genuinely cannot think of anyone that would help in a meaningful way. Absolutely is consumerism at its finest.

[monse]

this is getting ridiculous honestly and people can’t find what to waste their money on

[superfangirl_gachalife]

People seem to have confused “must have” with disability aid on some of these items 🤦🏽‍♀️ the automatic curtains and automatic door opener would help those who have physical disabilities

This is stuff for people who are so devoid of any personality or sense of purpose that shopping becomes their only hobby.

Those coffee table books. Artists rise up, tell me I'm not the only one who would not be able to resist the urge to draw in it. It's so empty and clean, MUST DRAW IN IT

7:35- As someone who studies dress history. Women used to take hair out of their brush to save it to make hair rats to add to their giant hairstyles. But it was kept on the vanity, NOT THE SHOWER!

Also, I thought that those books were sketch books

The automatic curtain items called Switchbots are great for people with chronic pain who might wake up bedridden and unable to stand to open curtains, etc. My disabled roommate has a few of these and programmed them as toggles for items that he'd otherwise have to stand or walk to reach, like his standalone AC unit and the curtains. The way they're being shown off in these videos is sad, they're such a huge help for people like my roommate but they're bring framed like a lazy person splurge 😓

I agree with most of these. However, from the perspective of a disabled person, two of the things you mentioned fall under adaptable equipment for disabled people. The blinds that close automatically and the door that automatically closes can really help those of us who are in wheelchairs or lack fine motor skills to be able to do those things. And I actually sometimes watch those things to help find things that could help make living easier for me. I'm not saying that it's bad that that wasn't considered a lot of people don't consider those things, but there are a lot of things that people don't think of that could be extremely helpful to disabled people to help them have some Independence and help our quality of life that other people who are able to body would considered completely useless, although ironically a lot of them are out of our price range. But yeah I agree a lot of these make no sense.

honestly, those blank books look perfect to draw in.

[HuskersSlave]

"Amazon Must Haves 😍‼️” and than they proceed to show me the most worthless item known to man for 100$ 💀

[slkalab]

Amazon must haves are the new “As Seen On TV.”

[raisinsssssssss]

The thing that grinds my gears so much is that some of those 'must have amazon finds' are items that disabled people would need and theyre being advertised as 'for convenience' or smth like that

[motorolla]

im so glad i discovered your channel, we desperately need someone as blunt and real as you. i felt like i was the only one who saw how much junk there was being promoted on the internet because nobody speaks out about it enough. On top of that just like me your loud when your talking about things that piss you off while making hilarious comments!

[elinafajardo]

The blank books for aesthetics made me so mildly annoyed cause not only is that just a WASTE of paper, this just shows how these booktok girls aren't bright. You can't even read a book, don't buy one or one that doesn't even have words.

[Z_NPWZ]

The eucalyptus part is honestly cruel. There are koalas struggling this very moment that we speak because they can’t find a tree left that’s not burned to a crisp and this girl is sitting here WITH AN ENTIRE BRANCH OF IT JUST FOR “AESTHETIC PURPOSES” 😭😭 I literally feel so bad..

[goodradoodles]

8:45 low key that gives me an idea for a communal sketchbook that visitors can draw in too. Which is honestly way less creepy

[TheEclipseWatcherArchives]

Those coffee table books would honestly be perfect as sketchbooks or even places to write for me.

[amazzzing_grace]

The coffee table book PISSED me off. Like go to the thrift store. They have so many books you could buy and use as "decor", and then you could ACTUALLY read them. 🤯

The only “useless” Amazon product I’ve gotten in recent times was a microwave popcorn popper that you put the kernels in and it basically Air pops it so it’s not covered in butter and crap. A huge jug of kernels is like $6, the popper was $12, and it takes like half a year to finish the jug of kernels if you make popcorn 2 or 3 times a week.

8:36...I already know that I'd use these as a sketchbook or something. I'd give them a function.
