Things I recommend you buy and use

It’s a Medium post of adverts, and it feels bizarre. At certain points I wondered if it was a joke or intended as art.<p>Things the author recommends you “buy and use” include McDonald’s coffee; airline loyalty schemes (yes, they use the word “schemes”); getting a bunch of credit cards for the signup bonuses, which they even present with the same wording as get-rich-quick schemes (“make a few thousand dollars a year, or $50–100 per hour of work”); and several kinds of medication, including antidepressants:<p>&gt; Are you not happy all the time?<p>&gt; Maybe you should look into trying anti-depressants and see if they make you more cheerful.<p>They do mention it’s serious medication, but instead of recommending you see a doctor, point you to another post (by the same author, in a Google Docs file), were they talk about their own experience with what seems to be (didn’t read past the start) self-medication.
