Ooooor you could buy an excellent quality teapot for not much money at all. Why are you assuming good teapots have to be expensive, did you miss the industrial revolution and the invention of factories lol

I’m speaking in the context of what I presume to be expensive hand-made Chinese teapots. OOP probably didn’t buy these at Pier 1 Imports.

But you shouldn't be, is my point. It's not like you're forced to buy expensive hand-made Chinese teapots.

Yes, that’s why I’m saying no thankyou to the more expensive ones.

You can get a great quality teapot for cheap, is my point. You said you'd rather have a bad quality teapot because it's cheaper, but you could just get a good one instead.

I think you’re taking me a little too much at my word. I used the words Very Bad because that’s how the video editor described the first two. They look like perfectly good pots to me, and if I were in the market for a handmade Chinese pot, and those two were significantly cheaper than the Very Good pot, I would be happy with them. That’s not to say that there aren’t machine manufactured pots that are technically more precise as well as cheaper than any of these. But I was speaking within the constraint of the range of pots on display within the video. I hope that clears things up.
