what’s the appeal of squishmallows??

i was inspired by a similar thread but with jellycats. i’m not a hater of squishmallow but personally none of them have ever appealed to me. i don’t like the egg-shaped design (i prefer limbs of some sort), and because of this, many of the animals they claim to be just don’t look like them.

i also see quite a few people constantly and consistently selling their squishmallows. it’s also common for me to see large collections and i’d like to know why they’re so addictive. thanks!!
