a common experience I hate: seeing a cute accessory on Amazon and thinking "I should see what I can find on etsy that's like this instead"
and the same exact things are all over etsy

YUP...........i ordered something on etsy once and it arrived in an amazon box 🙃 just a bunch of dropshippers, you can usually go on aliexpress and find the same item for like 8% of the price lol
yeah like if I'm gonna get some cheap junk anyway I might as well only spend $5 instead of paying a $40 markup for the privilege of believing I'm supporting an independent creator. but it's nuts, what even is the point of etsy anymore
