WHY can't etsy STOP breaking things! Or fix it when they do?

It's exhausting when etsy continually messes with code, breaks something useful... and then just frickin' ignores it and simply moves on to the next idiotic test which inevitably will break something else they won't fix until this side of never... even tho it's probably a test they've already done several times but it didn't yield the expected for or hoped for result???   
(yes, I'm aware that's a run-on sentence....  it's a rant!). 

This is NOT the first time some idiot has erased the hover function in the listing manager that shows the full title of a listing. NOT the first time. It's happened before and... eventually... they've restore it. So that means they KNOW how to fix it... so why is it being ignored this time around??? Is it some truly insane test to see if there are fewer new listings made when hover is not available???  Or a test to see how far they can push sellers before straight jacket sales improve???

ALL of this constant messing destroys my work flow and just makes things take longer. I used to love my little shop here. Now it's just such an unnecessary struggle....

OK, I'm done...

The CEO said they aren't hiring data scientists because it's cheaper to train people, and that they'll be doing unbridled testing. Those aren't the exact words, but something close. Pair that with the fact that AI isn't human and Etsy doesn't have to deal with the human cost of these tests and errors, we get to where we are now.

My take on an old saying, "I wish I had a dime for every Etsy Glitch, and another for every test..."
