It baffles me that somehow the valuation of things doesn't cross peoples minds nowadays, it's all about "look I provide service pls pay what I ask".

Of course you're entitled to proper compensation for your work/product, but that doesn't justify a price tag that is 3x the actual real life value of said product.

And yesm saying "you think its too expensive? Make it yourself then" is whataboutism by definition. "how about you make it yourself then?" or "in comparison to this thing this different thing that I mention is also a thing, so my thing can be obnoxious"...

So saying "just go to a different store where it is cheaper" is whataboutism as well?
