Favorite Picks are my own listings?

[TreasureHouseBlues]

Etsy is sending me emails with my favorite picks, to Love them. Which are actually items from my own shop! Apparently they don't know what I've actually looked at and the difference between my own listings? Anyone else?

I don’t get Etsy emails but on the front page, they suggest my own listings to me.

The algorithm is smart enough to know better than you do what you really want but too stupid to know that you can't buy from yourself.

If you often use etsy search to see where your items are landing, etsy assumes that you are interested in those search terms/items. Apparently, it's too complicated for them to filter out your own items.

Etsy front page likes to show me the shop that stole my ideas and set up in direct competition....  I avoid the front page!

@TreasureHouseBlues  Yes exactly as you describe, they’ve been recommending my own items for months and if I were to favourite my own items, they’ll let me know when I put them on sale too…

@BagmakerSupply  very, very true!
