So not impressed, Etsy, with your little article full of shit, assholes, and alcohol. Grow the fuck up already!
One thing worthy of note however is that Chad Dickerson and this Kellon Elliot-McCrea dude are "trained story tellers". Who'd a thunk it? 0_0

Does anyone really take any of this zombie hipster gobbledy-gook seriously? Toss in enough curse words and a few owls as backdrops for "hardcoreness" and maybe they will. Who knows? I'm still trying to wrap my mind around "organic community of practice". WTF is that? Can't these hemp-smoking, tree-huggers just say something without hardcoring cute-ifying it the hell up?
I swear this dude must have choked on his own fucking tongue during this interview. Because even by his own definition Etsy is full of assholes.
I am 100% convinced that organized craft sites are what ruins the handmade movement. Sort of like when McDonald's Big Mac'ed the hamburger. Next thing you know someone Whoppers it, then someone In-N-Outs it, and on and on until it becomes an assembly line, mass produced, tasteless fucking joke and you are not even sure that you are eating real ground beef anymore or eating an organic shitburger.

I rarely read any of the blogs articles, etc. on Etsy..but because of your little rant, had to go and look...and you are so right.
In the '50's, artspeak began what inevitably became an isolationist language seemingly designed to separate the audience from the artist by virtue of it's incomprehensible idiocy, or 'gobbledegook,' as you so succinctly state.
This, my dear, is typical corporate-speak...nothing to do with hipsters or zombies except as it might relate to the continuing zombification of the language to separate the actual consumer from those who are the uncreative owners cashing in on the handmade movement. Not content with simply making an ugly buck by upselling the aspirations of a few creative types, they have to codify their language as if they were some sort of cult...oh, wait....
Remember, again, in the late '50's, early '60's, that record companies began to realize there were millions out there to be robbed from musicians (creative types) who knew nothing about business...after 30 - 40 years, the social movement began, music began to be 'exchanged' lawsuits came and went, and now? The record business hardly exists...
I think that eventually, social media will reinvent the craftsperson-customer relationship and hopefully sideline these craft vampires for good....
It just doesn't make sense to me that Etsy did away with the ETC. section of the forum all full of yeast infections, and tits and ass and penis, and sucking and fucking, and shit and piss to make it appear more business-like only to have a spokesperson shit and asshole all over the place in some article.

I know whatcha mean..lots of blogs, articles, etc. online, say, Huffington Post with 'language'- and yet, if you use any in the comments section, the 'moderators' will delete your entire posting..one rule for them, 'nother for us....
Wasn't part of their allergy to you the use of colourful language that most of us found so entertaining?
i got muted permanently for calling out a reselller...
Their allergy to me basically was that too many people bitched about me and my audacity to open my mouth on their precious fucking forum because my doing so interrupted their own little look at me look at me hissy fit bitch fest, mizdarlin.
They put reseller shit on their front page regularly now so it doesn't surprise me felice.
