*** Etsy is run by Marketing & Sales ***
The best tech companies are run by techies….Bezos at Amazon…Gates at MicroSoft…Pichai at Google and Zuckerberg at Meta.
Etsy’s Board of Directors decided to hire a Salesman, Silverman, to run a tech company; who is NOT a technologist.
I own a newer iMac and Etsy has slowed down considerably for many processes. Photos to view are slow to respond when selected…and when changing data in my “Title” it now takes over 10 minutes for that change to occur. This is not a good sign for a company who continues to bloat their website with more Sellers and Buyers, causing strain on their system.
You are so right. We purchased a new Imac this Fall and Etsy’s site is still processing things slowly. Patiently waiting for a delete all photo button or rearrange main shop page by bulk. Definitely do not think any of that is on their radar.
No worries! It is now too late to be shopping for Christmas anyways!
