Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
I love that there’s people who actually think TERFs should be taken seriously politically because they call themselves feminists and feminism is a respectable political current, and then you go on their allegedly-feminist forums and there’s some completely deranged cis woman literally shouting that it’s impossible for trans women to ever be actually afraid of violence because fear is an emotion you can only learn by being “female socialized” and then you come on tumblr to point out that this entire talking point of “gendered socialization” seems to conceive of humans as pre-programmed robots with no free will, agency or self-reflection whatsoever and sociologically illiterate yet inexplicably popular TERF localhorrorlesbian will say it’s “the sociological equivalent of being a flat earther” to think this is a load of bullshit, all while citing zero evidence of any sociological theory that actually supports this completely inflexible form of structural determinism that, if it were true, means gender-nonconformity could literally not exist. And we’re supposed to take all of this super seriously and not pretend it’s the equivalent of an Alex Jones rant but delivered more condescendingly by people who are the cis woman equivalent of your average reddit pseudo-intellectual.

Etsy sellers are furious over new mandatory ad fees
Please if you see my or any other Etsy sellers ads outside of Etsy please don’t click them. Instead of helping them you might actually make them lose money on the items.
There is only one problem:
That won’t do anything as it was already confirmed that Etsy even considers every kind of redirection via an site with link extensions (when sites add a tracking parameter at the end, like FB’s ?fbclid=enterlongnumberhere) as “ad”, so if somebody finds your item as part of a normal Google search, you will already have to pay the fee, same if you linked your item on FB.So you’re saying if I’m advertising the items on Instagram or Facebook it also counts as Etsy Ads? Because it seems really vague to me. I thought it only counted if Etsy embed the ads by themselves or whoever desides where they go.
That’s correct, any redirection counts as “off-site advertising” which the fee is for. As mentioned it was already confirmed by users who called their support.
1-844-659-3879
That is Etsy’s customer service number. It’s well hidden on their site now.
Call them. This is unfair to sellers, and most buyers are there to put money in an artists pocket, not Etsy’s pocket.
Call them if you’re a seller. Call them if you’re a buyer. Tell them you think the fee is ridiculous, over-priced, and that Etsy already took more than their fair share from sellers profits, and tell them their greed and theft from artists is obscene. Tell them they have NO RIGHT to charge us a fee for LINKS AND GOOGLE SEARCHES. Tell them that when we’re advertising our own products they have 0 right to take 12% with the claim that they got us the sale when WE were the ones working to make sure people knew the products existed at all.
Tell them they have to either VASTLY lower the percentage they take, or give us all the option of opting out. We have absolutely no say in this. I can say I will be finding a new platform if this isn’t changed and fast though.
