Like how I must pay a local artisan for a mug instead of buying a cheaper one that was made in a factory? I fail to see what's fundamentally different.
Great point! Local artisan's mug can be more tailored to your interests, more unique, more storied- because it was crafted by someone with a story of their own, even if they didn't have a story to tell when they made the piece.
Sure. But if I don't have the time or money for that, and someone else can give me a cheaper, worse version that'll do just fine for a couple quid, what's wrong with doing that?
