Live Experiment of the Veblen Effect

3•henryfudgeoffic•2h ago
Hi, I’m the Rentier Black Hole guy from TikTok.

Currently running a live experiment on the Veblen effect and conspicuous consumption with various Tshirts from the audience.

Take a look here at Veblen.ch

So far in 3 days we have 1300 votes.

I’ll be closing the vote in 16 hours.

Then I’ll be making the video on it tomorrow to show everyone all about the real Veblen effect
