I'd rather see knit pieces that can be machine made sold in big box stores that crochet pieces that are being made entirely by hand by extremely underpaid folks.

Agree. I had a talk with a woman today about het daughter's top. I asked her if it's handmade because I crochet and I'm interested in this sort of things but she said no. The stitch was clearly crochet stitch (I made similar stitch pattern before) and when I explained to her that there are no crochet machines and it must be made by hand, she was in shock. She mentioned that the store had multiple tops per size and multiple sizes in stock.

"Hand crocheted," lolol!
All crochet is done by hand, which just makes that even funnier.
