Ok I'm looking at my listings and it dawns on me that I am now in the test. I am not computer savvy, but I can get by. It's not only the hiding of the description, it's a computer controlling what I see and when I see it. There's a possibility the "add to cart box" might cause me to buy it if it follows me while I try to find the hidden description. It might take over my mind causing me to potentially charge hundreds of dollars worth of fake handmade antiques as I scroll down and down past the reviews and finally find the description. These techie people just want everything busy and flicking here and there. Example- watching trials on you tube. The commercials are twice as loud and abrupt intrusions. If I don't want sensory overload, I can get a premium subscription and pay for it for the rest of my life. It's not advertising - it's mind control.
Oh I so hope the Etsy staff who care about the Etsy business ( is that even a possibility ?) read these forums and pass it on. Preferably somebody with some sense and realizes what was once an incredible opportunity for people is looking shoddy and desperate. All the gimmicks and money grabs and cheaters suck and at one time Etsy was way more sincere. I know change keeps things fresh, but it's idiotic to do some of what they do.
I am getting that experience now trying to shop and get a feel for things on Etsy. It's too much. Anytime you are on a computer it's like ADD. Trying to read news online and everything is moving covering up what you are trying to read. So I am old...
