- suction 4y agoNot at scale, but the question is, do you really need to scale?
- dan-robertson 4y agoI think giving everyone the same homepage wouldn’t work at some size. The sellers on the front page would likely be totally swamped and would need much larger scale than the small-scale hand-made feel that Etsy wanted, and it would also be bad for sellers who aren’t on the front page. The thread seemed to mostly touch on some organisational disaster topics and a little bit of ‘how can we make this system work better for sellers’. I didn’t really see it as requiring automating the system so much as making it a bit less horrifying.
- jandrese 4y agoI thought showcasing a single front page to everybody and rotating it every hour means the seller gets a massive spike in views once and then they are back to the dirty alleys of the search algorithm. It would have made more sense for the employee to spend their day finding good collections and adding them to a list. Then whenever someone loads a page a random item from the list is used. Old items would expire from the list after a week or two. This lets the employee do their job 9-5 and spreads out the load on the people who get featured on the front page.
