Yeah like for sure it’s easy to figure out what is really handmade, and like support them if you want and can because this is probably their livelyhood. But it’s insane the amount of stuff on there that is clearly not artisan but they try to peddle it as such.

glad my spouse is only out on etsy buying soap that’s obviously homemade. this wasteland is so shitty
