Most of the stuff on Etsy isn't art. But also - there are multiple easy alternatives to Etsy storefront.

> Those two, and this example has me wondering why these companies continue to side with the buyers? Because the customer sets the demands. If the demands aren't met - customer doesn't give you the money.

You're right. That's why they know the value they bring and are increasing fees - which is reasonable.

OK. You realize that they can move to eBay and Shopify. If their complaints are true, then Etsy is already unusable and using Instagram ads is clearly a simpler way of doing business.

Every business has an obligation to work for the investor.

Considering that the strike is complaining about hike in fees - it doesn't seem like there is enough demand. Is Etsy such a good aggregator, that setting up a storefront with Square is that hard?

What's their unique gimmick? Paying for mass produced quality weekend project items?.. Tie dyed tees at 3x the price? I bought from Etsy once, but even then the items were recommended to me via Instagram. Etsy in 2014 was already fille

Independent, small scale sellers aren't priced out. Cost of doing business includes sales costs - that needs to be integral to the price. What means is that these craftspeople don't produce enough value for the markets they are ta

To be fair - you really can't do volume sales without outsourcing manufacturing. There's only so much you can get from handcrafting.

Yes, you do have a right to expectation of privacy. A verbal contract is still required for filming you. Open ended contracts aren't valid as well. We don't live in ancapistan.

Prime Video, Audible and deals. A bunch of brands officially sell through Amazon and super fast shipping. If you're in a metropolis - you get a lot of benefits, including 1 hour groceries.

Cost. Simple as that. Etsy cannot charge AirBnB commissions, to verify every single seller and keep them in check

But... That curation is a VERY expensive task. Etsy is for artists/creators. If you add curation to the mix one side needs to take a hit - and it ain't going to be your wallet. Basically the reason for Etsy to exist is "direc

Those paranoid people don't really vote. So it doesn't matter.

Driver's license in US vs passport in France - not same. Also are you completely not self aware? "went over to my county records office" and "hope that your church/city-hall, can provide you a copy" - are liter

All you have to do is shut down a DMV in a poor neighborhood - and viola - you just have indirectly reduced the number of people without photo IDs.

by JAlexoid 5y ago
It's statistics, government policy and literally the words of people who enacted these laws. UK doesn't require photo ID to vote as well. No mail-in voting has provisions for photo ID, as well.
772.
by JAlexoid 5y ago
I don't believe that there's a problem with requiring a photo ID per se(other than paranoid people, who don't want government IDs at all). The primary issue is that the photo IDs are not easily accessible(time and money) in U

The systems are completely different and your comment is just plain ignorance. Elections in France are on a Sunday, when almost everyone is off work.(in US it's always Tuesday?) Photo IDs are low cost there and mandatory. Everyone has

by JAlexoid 5y ago
It's fast, easy and low cost - that's what matters. And it depends, often elections don't coincide and the election process is just a few weeks long.

Let's be fair - most of Europe a tip is really optional. No one is depending on tips as the source of their income.

by JAlexoid 5y ago
But tips aren't charity. They're even classified as income in tax codes. Let alone - tips are very often not "optional" Tips are literally a variable price co-pay for a service.

If Google wasn't a result of massive amount of lucky circumstances, beyond the control of its founders - you'd be able to launch a successful competitor to Google right now and become a billionaire in a few years.

That's sad.... that you think that. It is like saying that software engineers write bad code, so that they can get paid to fix it. (Which is really not true at all)
