Thanks, I’d love to respond to this when I have the chance. As far as Rob Kalin, you didn’t answer the question - what is his art? What medium? I’m a member of a group that doesn’t have to stretch, claim or pretend to be artists, since we make things out of hot glass all day and it’s really obvious. I find it odd that you’re convinced he’s an artist, but I’ve never seen any of his art. Are you referring to his personality? Does he actually create craft or art? Was he ever self employed to trying to sell it for a living? A couple of times here, you are using outliers to try to prove broad principles: Kalin proves that artists wouldn’t know how to run Etsy, and Jeff Bezos proves that a retail background doesn't help to build a retail website. Hmm, I would be hesitant to draw conclusions like that. Overall, Etsy is irrelevant to people like me, who were the people that it was nominally created for originally. Obviously, it was taken over by investors who don’t care at all about the original mission. What I’m still judging at by is the original intent, which they never managed to achieve.
