First off, I don’t think tiktokers have as much influence over the cost of a hobby as inflation and every other market force that has increased prices. Everything is more expensive and blaming influencers doesn’t help.
With that said, it’s like Gen Z saw Millennials being Hipsters who pay wayyyy too much for ‘vintage crap’ and said ‘Hold my vape,’ then went and did the same thing to literally anything else.
