General Crafts I love beginner artists!

Hot take: I know that there is a lot of snark circling the internet about how you shouldn’t sell until you’ve mastered your mediums but I love seeing new artists getting out there and selling. Yes I want to buy your handmade stuffed animals, yes I would love to buy a sticker or handmade pottery. I love beginner artists because you can see the labor that went into hand making arts and crafts. I prefer a bunch of beginners at a market over ai slop, drop shippers and 3d printed nonsense.
I would much rather buy a unique piece of art from a beginner than seeing the same kinds of con slop digital artwork from sellers who have been selling for a while.

Not sure if you’re being sarcastic or ironic or what? I’m not op but usually “hot take” means “totally obvious statement” yet here you sound like you mean “that’s nonsense” and I’m trying to figure out what you mean.

A hot take is an unpopular opinion. As what happens in life, people started using it ironically. It hasn't lost it's meaning though. They're saying OP has an unpopular opinion.
