hahahahh! That's pretty funny.

I say you should sign up on Regretsy. Not only do you get to critique crafts and website design but you also get to weigh on the kind of communities websites produce. And best of all, even though Regretsy is a "parasite" website devoted to mocking the pretensions of Etsy, it actually often results in more sales for those criticized as well as running a variety of heart-warming charities. For example, each month Regretsy picks an Etsy seller who is in economic straights and not only encourages buying their goods, but also dedicates the proceeds of its own ironic gift shop to that month's seller. Recently, Regretsy pulled together an enormous sub-for-Santa drive than resulted in a showdown with PayPal over charity contributions. The resulting settlement? PayPal apologized and gave $100 to each of the families Regretsy was sponsoring.

Oh yeah, there are a few Mormon ladies who sell their wares (Mormon themed and not) on Etsy, so I guess this is just another example of my vicious and hate-filled anti-mormon campaign.


Haha! I used to sell on Etsy!

Don't laugh, but I've considered it to. The lord knows I'm crafty as hell: I knit, crochet, embroider, make handmade cards and drawings all the time! Although I'm always looking for a way to bring in another revenue stream, I think the time I'd have to spend on an Etsy shop to make it actually pay is more than I can handle right now. But Regretsy is pure unadulterated pleasure: it's snark for a good cause!
