Do you spend more than two hours every day staring at a screen for enjoyment? Yes. This is a separate issue from being addicted to consumerism though.
Do you have no productive hobbies? Define productive. Hobbies are for fun, and the notion that you need to always be productive or grind helps fuel consumerism anyway.
Do you regularly spend less than 3 hours outdoors in a day (inside a vehicle doesn't count as outdoors) - Yes, I'm mostly uninterested in outdoors activities. Besides, outdoor hobbies can be commercialized and marketed for consumption too.

I agree. First of all, video games is a type of enjoyment usually requiring staring at screens, so most people here would be doing so for a long time. Video games are a hobby, and it's true hobbies are for fun. I wouldn't call these consumerism.

I do not spend much time outdoors because I severely hate the outdoors with a passion. I have a low tolerance for pain and discomfort, and I can't stand the discomfort and inconvenience caused by wind, bugs, dirty things, rain, snow, or temperatures. I am very paranoid about being dirty. Once I've been outside, I will not touch my bed until I take a shower. I call the outdoors the death zone. This has nothing to do with consumerism.

I do not follow trends. In fact, stupid and irresponsible I often don't know a trend until it is too late so I often feel left behind. Actually, I hate most trends. I also hate eating, so I do not eat a lot.
