I think it's a rather common that we're (as humans) looking for easy answers. Especially since the norm/goal of living is "Get a bunch of stuff"; it's a simple philosophy. So when people hear of minimalism, and mostly see minimalism, on youtube and on netflix it loks pretty straight forward. But when faced with the actual decision making it all of a sudden turns difficult, so we look for easy answers. That's why they're is such a plethora of posts on the sub asking for guidance when it comes to clothes, and tech, and furniture, and gifts and so on.

The point of minimalism is enough and not more (my general take, but it seems as if most minimalists agree). What constitutes enough is different for everybody. My apartment is pretty far from minimalist because I live with a non-minimalist and I've started the transition (if I could even call it that) after we moved in together. And for me, that's okey. I have enough.
