There's no other handmade marketplace with nearly the same buyer reach. I've been on GoImagine, MakerPlace, etc for months and they literally generate zero sales against Etsy's hundreds in the same time.

"Tips" were effectively bids for service under the old model, as they were paid before the service was performed and determined whether a driver felt it worthwhile to accept that order. Now DoorDash will have to dynamically figure

Briefly, in 2019, until it made the news and the policy was changed so that drivers kept 100% of tips. There's more nuance than "DD was keeping tips", but plenty already written about that if you care to find the 2019 article

It's one single show out of the 2500+ in their catalog, one they licensed before the "no ads" offering existed (Grey's Anatomy). It's neither aggravating nor a crock.
