I think it would be more tasteful to just be showing people your nice gun collection rather than posting the time it took for you to blow thousands of dollars like it isn't a big deal. It's tacky, and it happens constantly on here.
To be clear, your post isn't even that egregious. There are some that are like "69 seconds of PAL" and show off an arsenal that would make a 3rd world nation jealous.
I think you perceive other people who are enjoying the hobby and sharing their collection as bragging simply because they mention how long they've been collecting, and because you personally think they've spent too much of their own money too quickly.
Everyone's income level is different, and so are their perceptions of how large a purchase is. You only see it as bragging because of your own circumstances and perspective. People spend thousands to go on vacation for a week or two all the time. I've wanted guns since I was a kid, I'm 33, and I've been busting my ass for years. After waiting almost a year for my pal, I was ready to buy some guns, and I shared my new collection.
If you think buying some guns is blowing thousands of dollars, then I'm not sure what you're doing in this sub.

These posts are so cringe.
"Look how much money I spent in X amount of time!"
