*I do not want this to be a political argument **

For some baffling reason Etsy is determined to continually show me political tshirts on my main Etsy page. They are pro DeSantis celebrating his inhumane treatment of immigrants. This started several days ago. I have never searched for or clicked on anything even remotely political (either party) so this is not about my search history- I have still cleared it numerous times a day the past few days but the shirts remain on my home page. I have searched all sorts of other things to try to push these off my home page but they won’t go away. I don’t want to see these every time I come on Etsy. I find them disgusting. Why is Etsy insisting on promoting these to me? If I were a random shopper and these were continually being pushed at me I would leave Etsy and not come back. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Same thing on my page.  There was a forum post last week by a person doing t-shirts, and I recall seeing one was a Christian message and another one had a curse word on it when I viewed the shop.  Maybe that's causing this?

Well I rarely look at the home page except when I see threads like this. Then I go check it out to see if anything there has improved at all. I have never had the nudity / porn items many have complained of in the past and I don't have political items now. Etsy is showing one of our own shop's items. LOL, yeah we do like ourselves. Mainly the home page is never of much interest because it doesn't really show me things that interest me in exploring further.

Same here.  I was really surprised by this.  Doesn't relate in any way with anything in our browsing history.

I checked my home page because of this thread and I'm not seeing any political items. Just beads, jewelry, stickers and sweatshirts. I'm glad I'm not seeing any of that.

Just got a Let's Ride B!tches hat I faved and stuff I recently looked at and since I bought some digital labels Etsy decided I wanted to see party supplies for some reason and IP infringing ones at that. I wish they'd just add an X to close items you are not interested in.

Not political T-shirts but nudity started showing up on my page. I am a photographer and looked at a camera a seller had for sale. I then licked on the sellers store and there were photos of nude women. I did not click on anything else and left the store. Next thing I know “BAM!!!” Nude photos for sale start to appear on my home page. I have tried looking at other topics that are not even close to nudity and those things appear PLUS nudity from stores I never visited!
