As a consumer, I noticed and dropped Etsy. I came for the love of the craft, I stayed a little when I could still find real results many pages down, but by now it’s not worth it. I remember the last thing I tried to buy something on Etsy, ended up buying in on a big-but-reputable brand website instead.
