[Misc] Empties as an alternative to hauls?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I was thinking about this because of the recent conversations about people disliking shelfies that are posted without reviews because they don't really contribute much to the sub. I think there's a similar argument to be made about hauls, perhaps even more so. My biggest gripes about haul posts are that 1. we see a lot of the same/popular products in them. I feel like I see haul posts with products, like the TO niacinamide, that are already super popular on this sub at least once a day. 2. they don't contribute much to the sub in general. You can't review products you just bought, so the posts are essentially "Look what I just bought!" and all the comments are either "I have that and like it" or "let us know how you like x!"There are obviously exceptions, for example, I find hauls from foreign countries or new retailers informative and interesting, but overall I don't see much point to hauls for the above reasons. I'd much rather see something like an [Empties] tag. There's a lot more educational value in discussing products after using them up. It would still allow people to show their purchases off, but then they could give mini-reviews and say whether or not they will be repurchasing. Just a thought.
