Could it be that I just have horrible taste? No, it's the market that's wrong! (lemmy.today)

I'm pretty familiar with the uncanny valley, and I don't really think it applies to kitchens beyond as a metaphor. But then again, you could say the same about my relating it to the fine art market (and I cannot stress enough how little my expertise is in this regard lol).

Nothing with people IRL is ever a linear relationship so I imagine the truth is somewhere in-between lol

Like I said, it was just a speculation I had, because for me, this kitchen definitely falls into uncanny valley territory. A little more ooomph and it might have paid off, or a little less and it might have sold reasonably. But again, there were many commenters here who actually said they DID love it, so perhaps I'm wrong. But that's assuming they actually have enough money to actually buy it, which at least some of them admitted they don't.
