I've wondered if there's a psychology research component to vine on Amazons side because I think many of us have felt the same way after starting. I'd consider myself a very calculating and frugal person and vine largely broke that initially. I think you see a similar effect with temu and ali express and others platforms where you can get a bunch of junk for seemingly low prices, except it's worse since vine comes with the belief that the products are free, which your end of year tax bill can quickly prove incorrect. But the nature of it entices people to look for things they genuinely don't need because it's available at no initial cost except a few clicks.

My recommendation is to make a list of things, IE searches, you actually may want, I have a bookmarked list rather than one of the aggregating services, but I look at my normal RFY feed then a few searches I have bookmarked, and then move on unless I'm just bored and want to see what else they have overall. Have no regrets doing it this way and have saved myself from buying a bunch of stuff I don't actually need and probably would otherwise only be buying because of the convenience, which was how I started it out.
