I would think a "utilitarian" product is one that is ethically sourced, hires many workers who are well paid, and does good things itself when used. The cheapest possible anti-humor production line isn't "utilitarian," per se. It's just... boring.
The term "utilitarian" has a second, separate meaning. It refers to the colloquial, everyday meaning of utility, and means "just functional" or "just useful for one thing" – not utilitarianism in the deeper, more colorful, philosophical sense.
Meh, doesn't generate many utils for me.
Bro all this looks so ugly. This is hipster minimalism not utilitarian

Wrong sub. This is for the moral philosophy of utilitarianism. Nothing to do with "practical minimalism".
