        When it was handmade stuff instead of Chinese-manufactured shit that tries to trick you into thinking it’s a handmade item.

        I’ve sold on Etsy for nearly 15 years. It used to be amazing! Now it’s absolute shit. Stopped using it a few years ago.

          Hey are there any sites similar to how Etsy used to be? I used to love it back in the day.

            Unfortunately, there are no real handmade marketplaces like Etsy once was. There’s things like Shopify, but no real place where you wouldn’t have to aggressively market your stuff to get seen.

            Heck, I used to sell crochet hats, and I could barely keep up with orders! Now you wouldn’t even see my stuff in the search results under all the mass-produced garbage.
