The problem is people will still just use Etsy rather than going direct to the business, even if going direct is significantly cheaper, because it's easier.
You see it with fast food deliveries as well. People would rather just order through just eat or deliveroo rather than ringing the place up and saving quite a decent amount on their order for both themselves and the local restaurant.
Unfortunately people just want convenience these days.
Not the person you replied to but personally I'd like to see some kind of random communities feature so I can discover new ones.
Most of the stuff I see is memes or US politics that I'm just not interested in.
