I find it really weird when other merch artists act like the manufacturers they use is some secret that needs to be guarded. Like other artists should be peopleās colleagues not someone theyāre actively working against. Also it just gives weird vibes because personally I would like to know that the manufacturers are using some sort of standards for treating employees well and when people seem to want to hide that itās like. Idk thatās a little weird. Also I like supporting the people Iām working with as well by letting people know theyāre cool and do good work. I guess a lot of it is like capitalism problems, I just hate it.
