As much as the forum and “mailday” topics can create envy and a desire to buy new yoyos, it’s also the choice of any member to actively click and view those topics themselves. Same goes for yoyo reviews - if you’re curious enough to watch them it’s no one’s fault but your own that you want to buy a new throw. No one is forcing you, no one is outright trying to coerce you to buy a new yoyo. Blaming others for putting out content that showcases something that not everyone has is unwarranted in my opinion, there are lots of awesome unique yoyos that I’ve watched/seen in posts and vidoes that I will never own but appreciate being able to learn about. The whole money aspect is being blown out of proportion - the yoyo community has some of the best manners regarding shaming. I honestly don’t notice many posts (or any really) that involve someone putting someone down for having a beginner/less expensive yoyo. knife fanatics on the other hand…
