I just received a msg from a Tier 5 dev, asking for some support by checking their shop. I was quite excited! But I noticed that all of their items were No Change Derives! They literally made nothing themselves and also have huge price increases, some 10-50 k items labeled as support donations.
It's very insulting and degrading to have to compete for sales against those who put zero effort into creating. It's even humiliating as a customer to be swindled by creator-wannabes like this. They should be putting together decorated rooms and outfits for bundle sales, not individual duplicate no change derive products like this.
It makes me feel like all my hard work is pointless.

I do like the way Studio handles the Derivation Tree when deriving.
The Tree is listed on the Right Side just above the Derive button (see below).
This will help reduce the people who accidentally derive from a ZCD.
I hope this helps others being more careful in Deriving Products

Can you imagine... how many creators would adore the chance to fail a product like this in peer review...

I've noticed it a lot lately. I know how you feel! I found a creator I like a lot recently, only to find out a large portion of their items are ZCDs. By default now, I always check the derivation tree.

Yes, the Zero Change Derives have long been frowned upon in the Creator Community. It is a Cheap, Easy and Lazy way for "creators" to build a catalog. Unfortunately it is to "Dupe" the Customer out of extra money and most are not aware. Most ZCD "creators" build a reputation over time.
The New Catalogs on new platforms have little to no way of discovering if a product is ZCD's or not. Only Power Shoppers who are aware of the Classic HTML Catalog can easily see if a product is a rip-off or not. They can do this by looking at the Derivation Tree.
