“Stop buying things” is really just saying “buy fewer things.”
Do you need it?
Do you have something already that works in it’s place?
Can you buy it used?
Can it be repaired?
If the answer to those is “no”, then go ahead and buy what you need. Exhaust the no-buying options first. Good advice even outside the enshittification conversation.
