The Diderot effect is a phenomenon that occurs when acquiring a new possession leads to a spiral of consumption that results in the acquisition of even more possessions.

Definitely relatable. I fall into phases sometimes, where I get this or that and it shifts my interest to collecting it for a bit. Nice to know this has a name!
