Everything you just said is exactly what I used to love about Etsy. And I'm sure that there is still some amount of love to be had for it, for those reasons. But finding the kinds of items you just described is exactly the problem. Sure, if there is something really specific I want, I would consider checking Etsy first and if I found a locally crafted item, I'd be a happy camper. But I used to love browsing it, and the browsing experience is ruined or at least heavily degraded (depending on the category) thanks to all the mass produced items.
