Buy Now! The Shopping Conspiracy

"An amazing look into the dangers of over consumption and the truth behind the shopping industry. I think it’s important to look at the dangers of how marketing and over consumption has continued to effect our world. Incredibly honest and well done documentary. Highly recommend."

"Very factual documentary about the way companies try to get consumers to buy. It’s sad to hear about but it’s the consequences of what we’re doing!! "

"Consumerism at its finest"

"Fantastic documentary about the ways companies and brands get the consumer to buy , basically I would the trucks of the trade to get you to buy more , for me this was very interesting and a great watch."

"2024. Enlightening documentary. I really never considered what happens after the purchase. Recommend. We are truly a wasteful country. "

"Interesting documentary regarding consumer and company waste. Talking heads are people that worked in major corporate entities "

"Whoa! so if you’ve ever wondered why everything you buy seems to suddenly die at about the 18 month mark, including devices, refrigerators, laptops, and just about everything else, you’ll finally realize it was all part of the “planned obsolescence” I feel like I am a walking living success story for the folks at Amazon who set out to make “buying more” both seamless and addicting. This documentary is flat out shocking. I guess what’s most surprising is that so much of what they show in feature is just common sense but, corporate Giants have done a phenomenal job of making sure we don’t think about the consequences of our purchases or where “away” is when we say we’re throwing something away. Unfortunately, the only true solution proposed in this dock is consuming less, which makes total sense except that it’s much harder than it sounds when immersed in this reality. (Granted I may have missed some other solutions and suggestions as I was distracted and buying more things on my phone while consuming this documentary because #addicted) Suggesting consumers consult this problem by simply consuming less is kind of like telling a drinker… We just don’t drink when every part of society, culture, traditions, marketing is immersed in the opposite message. "

"So chilling and captivating the way it's told. Makes me think twice before making purchases. Companies need more accountability. "
