Fast fashion's cost stops being invisible on two sides at once

r/Anticonsumption's own users ask this week why people keep buying from Shein and Temu despite knowing the cost, the same season France turns that same question into an escalating per-item fee.

Both layers agree, from opposite directions, that the cost is no longer easy to ignore.

The number is how far this window sits from what this domain normally does, per 100 sources reporting, against the stamped days before it, so a day on which more sources reported does not read as a busier domain. Above zero is busier than usual, below zero quieter. It says the volume moved; it does not say why, and it is not a share of anything.

This is the counted layer: how much the feeds we read published about fashion, per source reporting, against what they usually publish. The story above is the heard layer, written from sources. They are kept apart on purpose.
