What websites do you use as an alternative to Amazon?
I've been trying to avoid shopping on Amazon for several years. For computer parts, I look at Newegg. For pet stuff, Chewy.
But what about all the miscellaneous stuff? What other websites do you trust when it comes to shopping online?

I might check that out. I have a small Etsy shop that used to generate a bit of side income for me, mainly just enough to buy the occasional tool or some materials for personal projects, but Etsy has changed a lot since 2018. It's basically just eBay or Amazon with the veneer of "this is totally handmade." They pushed "free" shipping and decreased lead times, which undermines actual handmade products.
My assumption that this was about SVB sounds totally off the mark now that you've put it this way. From your story, it sounds like this is about an entire culture shift that's been alienating Etsy's original community of artisans for quite some time.
