Cult of Less
Sutton founded the website, Cult of Less as a way to "unclutter his life."[3] The site listed all of Sutton's possessions and past belongings. He became a known figure among "digital minimalists"[4] (people who replace physical media, such as DVDs and books, with digital media, such as streaming services). Sutton claimed in 2010 to live out of two suitcases and two boxes.[5] On his personal website, Sutton in 2013 called the Cult of Less a "past exploit"[6] and in 2016 noted that he had "a girlfriend and a waffle iron, so we can all agree that project is likely over."[7]
