Okay but realistically what is going to happen? You seem smart, you don’t need to be walked across the line, you know that in this world that we live in, they are going to manufacture more. Because there is no force that is going to stop them from doing it. And until there is, that won’t change. So while that force does not exist, it is a near certainty that you purchasing glitter or meat contributes to its continued production.
This is the same silly argument people have for eating meat - doesn’t hold water
it’s absolutely true, but if you object, point out whatever said that’s wrong.
When you buy something, you add yourself to the demand for the thing.
and when you buy something, the supply shrinks
What do manufacturers do when the supply shrinks?
they’re agents with free will. they can decide anything at all, including to destroy their existing inventory.

production Will continue at the same levels regardless of what I buy
Categorically untrue, there is no demand without consumers.
so the price goes up. that doesn’t cause more production, though.
