    I like to play a fun game whenever visiting a place that sells "handmade" jewelry: Open up aliexpress and see how long it takes to find the original supplier...

    A friend sent me jewelry she found beautiful and almost every time I found the AliExpress listing. I don't know if she got tired of it or if she finally understood that those things were just dropshipping.

    Yes but that's a different activity.

    I think the key point here is. sadly the glut of the world right now, plus AI video etc... Point is if you try and buy something "handmade" from the internet, You'll find a lot of mixed quality AI generated videos of people pretending to make the stuff, plus even if they didn't AI generate the video, they may have just gotten or filmed one person making something similar to what they dropship once. (you can probably tell once you get it, but you'll probably have to buy 5 counterfiets before you find a real one, unless you can physically walk to where they handmake it and see them make it.
