The author shows us how he felt, and tells us “this is what it’s like to like things.” But that doesn’t seem right at all. I like reading books, and I like watching some shows and playing video games. I’m not invested in owning them, or in the community experience of watching what everyone else recently has. This is what it’s like to define your identity by what you own and by what you participate in. Like a Cubs fan, maybe—you can do that, and you can care about winning, and you can care about having popular opinions, but maybe you should pick one of those three.
