Love has become dominated by consumerist culture

The "if he wanted to, he would" disease has taken over social media as a marketing tactic for special occasions and gifts. However, not all peoples' love languages are gift giving. These days, not enough emphasis is put on open communication and clear expectations in relationships, leading to situationships that last way longer than they should. The treatment of casual love has made our generation less and less faithful in love. Only one in ten Gen-Zs are committed to being committed.

Keeping people in a constant state of lack, in perpetual desire, strengthens the marketplace economy. Lovelessness is a boon to consumerism. — location: 629
