Why do so many book communities encourage gluttony? I'm not talking about stuffing one's face with food, I'm talking about buying book after book after book even though one has no desire to read them or use them for anything else other than having a pretty cover.

You see a lot of people do "unhaul" videos on YouTube where they basically get rid of books they compulsively bought and never even read. It's never "I didn't like this book so I don't want it anymore" it's always "I never got around to reading it"

Is this normal? Should it be encouraged in the name of having full shelves? Why do people do it? Do they think they'll look smart by hauling books or do they have a shopping addiction?
