I can't tell if this is recently worsened news or just recently reblogged news

I'm holding out hope for "somebody is wrong".

The original is two years old, and the addendum is at least ten months, so if it has worsened lately, it's not reflected in those.

if you have clicked an Etsy ad in the last 30 days *ANYONE YOU BUY FROM ON ETSY IN THAT PERIOD WILL BE BILLED THAT FEE.

This doesn't sound real.

That's what I said about the entire Trump presidency and now I don't know what's real or not anymore.

True - our whole world doesn't seem real.

If true, it's insidious, because Etsy will slip ads for products similar to those offered by the store you're searching into the mix. I didn't realize that until I went to buy something from a friend's store and got a "thank you for buying" email from a different shop entirely.

JFC.

It's stuff like this that makes me think maybe stuff like that can be true, because Etsy can be totally insidious for no damn reason.
