I mostly agree with your comment. However, dont get me started on Etsy. This is probably likely due to my location/language, but the first and last time I looked at Etsy, every product description was autotranslated with Google Translate into my native tung, and there was no obvious option to disable this behaviour. In a sense, Etsy gave me a glimpse into the grim future of internationalisation. That experience was even worse then some Amazon product descriptions. I really wondered what sort of customer would be willing to strike a deal based on that presentation. But I gather people are mostly looking at photos these days. In a world of icons and pictures, proper text is probably on the way out.
