Define "now", it's been popular for some time now
I think some people might do it, but not a lot of them

I don’t even know if I’d call this shit “weeb-maxing” to begin with. lol

But if you’re talking about the modern fandom in the West, I’d say no. Honestly, it's fair to say over 90% of users on this platform probably just legally stream, torrent, or pirate the shit they consume, and the chances are high that most of them have never spent a fucking dime on the shit they claim to love. lol

And some western fucker only owning a cheap hard drive full of anime they never paid for doesn’t exactly scream “weeb-maxing”. It just screams entitled brat. Particularly the ones in their 30s and above. lol

It's actually on decline. From what I've heard, there were far more hardcore fans in the 1980s and in the 2000s.

Weebmaxing is not a social thing, but a lot of weebs just do it naturally as they prefer japanese media over other stuff.

Yeah, what the heck is this anyway?

Does it mean watching many anime series? Does it mean spending tons of money on the hobby? Does it mean decking out one's life in Japanese (pop) culture items? Does it mean bragging about any of these?

Almost nobody wants to max male weebs, only the female ones.

I'm not familiar with weeb-maxing, but I've noticed wiru-maxing among a few MAL users.

Liking or even adoring anime is not enough to be weeb. Weebs love Japanese culture and the hallmark of a weeb is to blindly defend any action the Japanese make and to often make claims their way of life is better. I would also argue a big weeb will have a greater understanding of Japanese culture and other entertainment mediums than a plain anime fan. Despite anime becoming more popular in recent years I feel the number of weebs has declined as Japan no longer holds such a prominent position in the world economy. Much of Japan's economic success and ability to project its culture has been overshadowed by South Korea (electronics, dramas) or China (mass production of commodities/gatcha games).

Proper "Weeb" or no; Japan holds Classical Cultural Aspects that i happen to find Uniquely, Exceedingly Beautiful...
