I’m all about DIY, my thought process when buying something usually goes like so:
“Huh, this is pretty pricy, I bet I could make that” and about 50% of the time I actually make it, the other 50% I find it on sale and buy it then…
But just because I can make things doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate someone else’s work. I can paint, but I still buy artwork from other artists.
Sometimes it’s just about appreciating other people’s work.
