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: 😍😍😍

    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.
