Trends are fashionable events and manners that have been done by wasteof.money users. Trends don't usually last for a long time, meaning the ones listed here might've ended long ago, or might still be popular.
Wasteof Trends
you should use a stronger password
On 30th July, 2022, user ari jokingly created a post saying "ari you should use a stronger password"[1]. Quickly after, a lot of people have made posts similar to that[2]
Repost chains
Main article: Repost Chains
Repost chains were when a user reposted a post, following a theme or piece of text.
While wasteof2 would automatically hide reposts after 2 iterations, wasteof3 did not have such a restriction, and repost chains could clog up feeds. On August 5th, 2022, a user began mass-spamming repost chains, which forced the website into maintenance. After this occurred, the ability to repost other reposts was disallowed.[3][4] This change is only temporary.[5]
