@coopartisans dropshippers and people selling wholesale junk makes it so hard to find actual artisans on there these days 😩

That and the loads of scammers and spambots that unsolicitedly contact actual artisans, so that people who are really interested don't have a change.

Many actual artisans do have e.g. Facebook pages, Instagram and often also websites, though.
