It really is. Etsy too.

Remember when Etsy was for actual crafts and not a dozen people drop shipping the same kitschy shit from China?

I do! If you're patient and careful, you can still find some good creators on there. But, it's almost not worth it to even look anymore. Etsy doesn't even pretend to give a shit about all of the fake shops and misleading listings. Unfortunately, I haven't found any good alternatives yet either.
