The state, practice, or identity of being a consumer; the role or status of one who consumes.
From consumer plus -ship (Old English suffix denoting a state or condition). A formal way to describe the concept of being a consumer.
Unlike 'citizenship,' which implies rights and duties, 'consumership' is purely passive—you're shaped by market forces rather than participating in governance, which is why the word rarely appears in positive contexts.
