Wait, what? Why the hell would anyone WANT Etsy to scale? Their brand is synonymous with the worst sort of tasteless kitsch known to man. What really needs to happen is someone needs to reboot the concept but include istockphoto.com's vetting process for potential vendors.

- knieveltech 16y agoI'm not so sure about that. Istockphoto's model for keeping crap out of their stock photo offerings seems to work pretty solidly, and at minimum some form of curation would scrape off the resellers and the kind of crap that's so popular over on regretsy.
