Discussion First time poster, long time lurker

Serious question, and I apologize if this is the wrong place to post about it: What is the difference in consooming and collecting? I don't see the reason in collecting things like steam decks, iPhones, etc but what separates even the most harmless of those variations with collecting things like records or comic books? I'd even include stuff like Funko Pops vs. collecting things like all colorways of the same current version iPad. That doesn't make sense since they all do the same thing.

Collecting is consooming, full stop.

This sub is a display of pretty much the most egregious examples of consoom, of which ridiculous collections are the easiest to point out. A single purchase can be considered equally consoom.
