Why don't the buyers just make their own art? Because they're a different set of skills.
- endisneigh 5y agoThe buyers aren't going on strike and complaining about it, though. Not to mention the comparison doesn't make sense to begin with. The sellers are operating a business presumably. From Etsy's point of view the etsy sellers are like the buyers from the etsy sellers point of view. Ultimately everyone is going to do what they can to maximize revenue from their end. If this strike has any level of critical mass they'd just all leave and create their own thing. This is literally how Etsy itself came to be to begin with. It's just the nature of things. eBay sellers went on strike and all migrated over to Etsy. If this is that big of a deal, it's time to do it again.
