controversial take

Controversial take but some of yall are wayyyy too pressed about taking designs / inspo from free charts and modifying as sellers’ own

To be clear- I agree that reselling of free charts is icky and unoriginal but some of yall are up in arms that Etsy shops are selling canvases of these designs and im here to tell you that people like ME and the 800+ other people purchasing said charts are more than willing to pay someone for the materials and effort it takes to count and hand paint each cross hair for a design we find cute

Of course I would rather 100% original designs but a cute design is a cute design and if I wanna pay someone $40 to buy the materials, paint the design by hand, tape the edges, package it up, and ship me the finished product, then why is that such a big deal??
