Has anyone noticed that….

I’m part of the related subs (synthetic gemstones, engagement rings, the like).

Why is it that this sub seems to be the only overseas vendor friendly one? In one of the subs, you can’t ’promote overseas vendor sales’ and you can only mention US vendors in posts AND comments.

Is there some lore I’m missing? Do overseas vendors really pose such a threat to North American vendors? I would absolutely understand if it was a sub specifically directed for North America, but it’s not r/NorthAmericanEngagementRings. At least to me, it feels like there’s a racial component and that does not feel good.
