selecting [VIEW] an item does not lead directly to an item

[TheWoodenFly]

When I am visiting another shop and click [view] to view an item, instead of going directly to an item, Etsy precedes the listing I have chosen with links to several other items from other shops. Etsy titles this diversion, "Revisit your recent finds."

As a potential buyer, I find this distracting.

As a shop owner, I find it annoying and counterproductive. If a potential customer wants to view one of my items, I do not want Etsy interrupting the flow by saying, in effect, "Hey, why not take a look at these other things first." What is Etsy thinking?

Wow - may be a new test - sounds annoying.

haven't seen that yet, but if I did I'd be super annoyed.

I return to specific shops because I've had positive experiences with them. I don't want to be taken somewhere else.

@TheWoodenFly  - I'm not seeing this (at least when I'm signed in) but yes, it's probably another Etsy test. 

From Saturday, another thread on another probable test:

Out of curiosity, are these items you've carted? items you've saved for later? items you've favorited? or items you have simply clicked on to see all the listing details?

wow, I agree, annoying!!!

Now I know why the number of views never matches which items were viewed. Very frustrating. That info is important to me so I know which items buyers are interested in.
