I really can’t think about any reason that this products category even exists.

I imagine people who buy hand-made products as office workers who choose to ride a human instead of ordering taxi to work, just because why not.

It’s like, For people who buy handmade products:

  • A Product that is made of good material and made by machine in a factory and sold at reasonable price: 😡😡😡
  • A product that is 10x the price of normal product and is made by a human using less advanced machines: 😍😍😍

    Lol, says the person who’s never had such an experience.

    If it all ends up the same place, then you may as well just eat canned spaghetti.

    I’m sure we could tear apart anything you do with the same logic.

      Note that my objection is based on the excessive price. The alternative doesn’t have to be canned spaghetti or the previously-mentioned burger (though it certainly could be), grocery stores are packed full of things to choose from.

      Also never said that I hadn’t been to one but I didn’t find it to be some grand eye-opening experience where everything clicked into place and made the hype make sense.

      I won’t present my account statements here or anything but I think you’d have a hard time finding anything with such a lopsided cost-to-value ratio in there.
