There definitely is this prevailing prominent often subconscious sentiment that your things are lesser unless made by a corporation. The number of people I know that think I'm weird for eschewing newly manufactured items as a lifestyle is pretty high. Most of the rest see it as a cute novelty. Often they think I'm too poor and that my enthusiasm for doing it is feigned to save my pride.

I think sharing in that way would provide diminishing returns. People are like fish, they're made of the water they swim in, with humans that water includes concepts and ideas. Sage hanging above my desk, a yogurt culture I've been keeping going for 2 years, repurposing old things, they all seem worse to most than working their lives away for the shiny new version. I would say, save your sharing for those that are interested, and then share freely. That's how I approach it.
