hype man

Currently listening to: everything i wanted – Billie Eilish

And you say, “As long as I’m hereNo one can hurt youDon’t wanna lie hereBut you can learn toIf I could changeThe way that you see yourselfYou wouldn’t wonder why you hearThey don’t deserve you”

What has been worth the hype and what has been overhyped?

Prompt snagged from: TCMC

Using credit card points for traveling. For me, it’s been a total game-changer, being able to leverage their point system for luxurious weekend getaways or long-haul international trips without wrecking my bank account. Whether it’s stacking points for flights, hotel perks, or access to lounges where I can breathe before boarding, it all adds up. 

Now for the flipside: things that, in my opinion, are completely overhyped. First up—reboots. I get it, nostalgia is a powerful thing, but do we really need to keep resurrecting every movie or show from the past? Not everything needs a modern remake. Some classics are best left untouched. I still haven’t forgiven them for rebooting The Crow.

Also, VR. I know, I know—it’s supposed to be the future. But for me? It’s a no. I get motion sickness and the disorientation isn’t worth the novelty.

Lastly, influencer marketing. It’s hard to trust what you’re being sold when you know someone’s getting a paycheck to promote it.

    Very cool that credit card points have worked so well for you. And good points on the overhyped items.

    I didn’t have too much to say on your two posts this morning, so I’ll just add that I hope you have a great weekend! Go find something fun to get into! 🙂

        Just come up with something new rather than ruining something people already cherish.

    On all notes accept the influencer marketing products, I will have to take your word for it. I only respect influencer remarks on products that are not paid.

    1. justrojie Avatar

      yes i’ll agree with that! there’s been so many times when my friends and i have been influenced and we had instant regrets once we got the products. ugh.
