It absolutely is a good thing, natural diamond industry is largely based on slave labor and it destroys the environment. There is absolutely no reason for it to exist when we can cheaply manufacture diamonds.

Ffs they did this same thing with caviar farming didn’t they? I swear I remember articles complaining about how farming caviar is bad because it makes it more accessible to the wider public instead of being a special rich person food

Which is funny because caviar, like lobster, began as a shitty food for us poors until the rich gentrified it
