What it reminds me of is Network Decay: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NetworkDecay https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NetworkDecay Etsy began as a service to a niche market, and was a good platform for small sellers. But they're a public company, and their purpose is to create more and more returns... ultimately, diluting their brand and flooding their site with slop might be a money-making proposition.
