reminder to artists and buyers that etsy, and most e-commerce platforms, fucking suuuck! we can't turn this shit off, we can't opt out, we can't say "don't use our data, our images, our entire business". why would i want a machine telling me what to buy? what to order? why can't i opt out???
#i personally only have etsy as a way to get my name out there more and if someone orders something that's nice!#but like. i don't Want This. i think im just gonna put my shop in vacation mode for a while and stick with my sum-up store that#afaik doesn't use this and so far doesn't seem to be planning on using it whilst i do gear up to maybe launch a better more “professional”#store with bigcartel. but then i again lose out on etsy which is still used by millions of people!#it's tiring! it's upsetting! it's worrying! what are all these fucking companies doing with my data? what are they doing with the data#of the person that buys something from me through chatgpt? their full name their address their payment info???#WHY CAN'T I OPT OUT?!?!??!?!#etsy#shopify#etsy artist#artists on tumblr#Instagram
