Well the Etsy Exposed Blog started out pretty well-exposing resellers, pointing out stupid shit that admin did, pointing out reseller shit on the Etsy Front Page.
But as usual it didn't take it too long to degrade into a jealousy-driven bash-fest of other successful sellers. Remember the Etsy Bingo Card a couple of years ago? (Of course none of the links now work in the below blog post):
http://pussdaddyblogs.blogspot.com/2009/01/liberteas-hopes-her-etsy-bingo-card.html
Well now The Etsy Exposed Blog has come out with a Bajingo card.
Bajingo is played by making a treasury with some Etsy items that are suggested on the Bajingo card and if your treasury makes the front page you win. To help you they have suggested some successful sellers that they hate because they are successful, have good pictures, and make the front page a lot.
Same old bitches with the second verse as same as the first. Haters gotta hate.
Now I am all for outing resellers, pointing out reseller shit that makes the Etsy Front Page and resellers who make Reseller Asshole of the Month as Etsy's Featured Seller, along with pointing out security concerns and stupid shit that a site does. I am also for bashing a bunch of sellers who think they are Queen Head Bitch Of The Forums and bitch non-stop all day and fucking night in an orgiastic bitch fest as if it is not only better than sex but also their primary job and reason for existing. (Where are these bitches now and what are they doing for fun now? They probably had to be hospitalized with withdrawal symptoms, medicated, and given hormone shots and shit to bring them back to normal.)
Many of these chronic bitchers are no longer doing their thing on the forum and I must say that Etsy looks a hell of a lot more business-like for having booted their asses right the hell out (and in some cases off of Etsy itself). Now I am not saying Etsy is perfect because I know it is far from it. However some people have no problem there, want to be there, want to sell and buy there, and I don't see why their good time has to be ruined by a bunch of bitter, narcissistic, antagonistic, non-stop bitching crones. And evidently Etsy didn't see why people had to be subjected to this nonsense day after day and have their shops effected by it either because as I said the people are no longer there and should have been gone a helluva lot sooner if Etsy had any balls. Since these people and the ETC. section are gone Etsy no longer looks like a handmade yeast-infected sex orgy bitch fest and looks more like a place a new buyer or seller wouldn't be appalled at when hitting the forum for the first time.
Anywho, once again I digress. As I was saying I am all for the call outs I mentioned previously above. However I am not for bashing other sellers just because they are successful and you are jealous of them. For one thing the whole fucking goal is to sell shit and be successful at it-so why blame someone for doing just that? Also, sellers don't pick the front page. Sellers make treasuries and Etsy admin pick what goes on the front page. None of these people have one fucking thing to say about it. What do people expect-for them to contact Etsy and plead to be taken off the front page because some jealous asshole has a stick up her ass about it? I say "Fuck 'em!". Let them simmer in their own juices while being basted with rivers of jealousy. If anyone is to blame it should be the admin who choose the front page treasuries and not the people in the treasuries.
I follow some of these people on twitter, and have for a while, and I haven't seen them act hoity-toity in any way. They just seem like normal people who like to make stuff and sell it to me. I haven't see one of them tweeting "I am on the front page again, nani-nani boo-boo!" and "I bet you wish your girlfriend was hot like me!" or any such shit. Because like I said they don't have a fucking thing to do with whether they make the front page or not. And I know people are tired of hearing about how they need to take good pictures but some of these people do have good pictures. I know I can't take a picture worth a shit and that taking good ones requires some learning how to do it and work. And why the fuck anyone should be faulted for taking the time to learn how and work at it is beyond me.
So no, unless someone is obnoxiously in your face about how successful they are and how great they are that they make the front page all the time then they should be left the hell alone IMHO. Because you may not want to hear it but a bunch of crappy-looking, blurred, out-of-focus pictures on the front page don't do a helluva lot to attract buyers. So, in essence, people with good pictures on the front page actually help to attract buyers to the site. And when the buyers are there they probably look around and in the process may see other stuff too. They are helpful more than a hindrance, IMHO, so leave these people the hell alone. Yes it would be nice if every single person could make the front page, and even I wish that could happen, but I doubt it ever does.
So because they act like jealous, vindictive assholes I can't support The Etsy Exposed Blog and their jealous, cunty Bajingo card bashing a bunch of sellers by name. They should have named the damn thing the Vagingo card IMHO because whoever made it needs to take some Midol or something and stop being such a cunt. It ain't cute and it ain't classy but it's very easy to do when you don't use your own name like a coward. So I am taking my blog post with the link to these bitch's Etsy Exposed bullshit off my own blog. Goodbye, get the hell out, don't let the door hit you in the ass!
So go ahead and play Front Page Bajingo with these bitches. While you do that just make sure you don't get too successful yourself unless you want to see your name on one of their cards. Keep that in mind.
PD
