Some are but many are still legit sellers. We’ve sold on there and were handmade items. Their algorithm is very unpredictable so it was hard to rely on Etsy as a source of revenue

It sounds like you shouldn't rely on Etsy to drive traffic to your store.

Definitely, it is unpredictable if you are relying on that income. If it’s a side business it’s probably ok
