> As humans, we appreciate also the process in making things, not just the end result.
I generally think this doesn't apply to most people unless it affects the result they want out of the product. But hey, more power to you!
Almost all humans appreciate the process.
However it doesn't mean they will actually pay more for the process. At the end, money talks, thoughts and prayers don't.
It depends what we are talking about. Are we talking about investors in a company? Or about people going to a concert? I am talking about stuff like the latter, mostly.
All else being equal, most people prefer to own things that are valuable and exclusive to things that are cheap and mass produced, and the fact that care and effort has been put into making something affects the perceived value of the product.
This is why affects like 'limited run', 'hand-made', 'artisanal' tend to imply a higher price than the equivalent temu slop.
Yup, and these are targeting somewhat immature consumers going for the fomo and marketing narratives.
Ever heard the japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi? It's the philosophy of beauty in imperfections.
