Ask HN: Why does Etsy have so many items titled “DO Not PURCHASE”?
- zer00eyz 11y agoThere are a few reasons: 1. Trying to game relevance. They have stated that sales contribute to this. Take your custom order and funnel it through a listing of something you trying to push. 2. Some of these are coupons and discount promotions, etsy doesn't give sellers a good way to promote this so they abuse listings to do it
- hoodoof 11y agoI still don't understand. Also I don't understand why Etsy allow it, it degrades confidence in the site.
