> Some day go through your Amazon purchase history for the last decade and see how much absolute garbage purchases you made.

Uuuh, none? I've gone through 2 years and it was literally either a consumable (dog treats) or some kind of hardware tool that I still have and will last me a lifetime.

Yeah, there is very little garbage in my purchase history. Anecdotally it seems like a minority of the people do the bulk of all garbage purchases. I have one friend for example with ADHD who does a ton of impulsive shopping.
Thank you for the data point. From this we can extrapolate that there is no problem.
I don't really buy many things as well.

I have no idea how many things you buy, the average, or what is the general opinion about it. Everyone buys a lot of stuff, I guess? Everyone saying that everyone buys a lot of stuff?

Nevertheless GGP accusing me (and some similar comments) is annoying, probably it annoys GP too for the same reason.

Is accusing the general reader that useful? Is it even true?

> Nevertheless your comment accusing me

Narcissism much? When the comment doesn’t apply to you, it isn’t directed at you.

Just because something isn't directed at you, doesn't mean you're forbidden to reply to it.
If can dismiss what he said because it's one data point then we can dismiss the original argument altogether.
Extrapolating your snide remark, I can surmise that you have no problems in life whatsoever. Congratulations.
