Tldr:
blablablablablablablabla. Nothing concrete. I like ILF. Can't keep up with the speed at which threads take off here though

Cool to see so many replies and very invested ones (well not all of them) too, which to me says it's a subject people do reflect on, right?
As for my opening post, it wasn't meant to be judgemental, if anyone took it that way, but more of a, yeah, reflection. Personally I'm "downsizing" my gear collection but going the opposite route when it comes to the amount of stuff I use regularly. I deffo don't buy as much as I used to, which partly is down to buying way too much stuff some previous years and of course is related to money. Also, the oversaturation (in my opinion) of the market and increase of "gearporn" in social media etc has kinda brought me a slight sense of disgust over the materialistic lifestyle most people live.
And as someone stated, "trends are trending", but just wanted to see if other people were recognizing this or if it was just me. People are free to do what they wish, I've just been reflecting on the massive increase of everyone getting a looper and all the big strymons to do "ambient music"/volume swells (again, not judging, everyone likes and values different stuff) the past few years suddenly declining. Also, I don't know if you feel trends more in a "smaller" country like, Sweden.
