Apparently they'll release it to the general public later this year so hopefully they'll find a way to filter the bots. But knowing Etsy, they won't.

Screenshot from a message from Etsy that says:
This tool is still in beta testing, so what you see today is just the beginning. We'll keep evolving Marketplace Insights with new features and deeper data, and your feedback will guide the way - share it anytime using the "Give Feedback" button inside the tool.

The tool will become available to all sellers later this year, but you get to try it first!

Jewelry was the worst thing I saw from my few searches I could do. Other things like stickers were getting way more searches. But I didn't search for 3D printed things so I don't know that data

They only gave me 15 free searches per week and I already used them
I also thought of that but I'd already ran out, I'll try next week

And there's also a bot issue. I saw this extremely specific search on the similar terms for "charm jewelry" and thought it was weird for it to have that many searches. But it was just a 48 hour spike
Which makes those low search numbers way worse if they are artificially inflated

Getting into a specific niche like gaming sure helps reduce competition, but the amount of people searching for it is also way smaller

I got "early access" to Etsy's "Marketplace Insights" and wow... things are bleak...
There are hardly any searches for jewelry, and there are literally millions of publications for many categories

I bought something on Etsy but they shipped it by regular mail, so now my hopes of ever receiving it are close to 0 😢

I know it's a normal thing to do, but Correos de Mexico is just awful

Enamel test on my Dojima family ring

I haven't managed to get a good finish and seeing the microscope photo it's because it's full of bubbles

From reading a few forums I think I'm applying it too thick

Hornet Shell Sterling Silver Pendant | Hollow Knight Inspired

I really love how it turned out!

I wasn't sure about the halo but it works great, and it helps to stop the pointy ends from hurting you or getting hooked everywhere

A shiny silver pendant, shaped like the stylized, horned shell of Hornet from Hollow Knight, hangs from a silver chain, resting on dark, rocky soil with red and brown debris. Behind it, two large, light gray, bulbous plant trunks or roots are visible.

Yeah I'm sticking around as well, but with the current leadership I don't see the site surviving for long

Maybe atproto will survive and an alternative will come out, but I think bsky is doomed

Oh fuck I forgot w10 was ending in a few days 😭💀

kotako 🐔- KFP鶏を伸ばす人 @kotako.bsky.social · 19d

I thought of that but it's hard to stabilize because the center of gravity is right around there
Could work with 3 points of contact in a triangle, but it's not that big so the chain would be too cramped in there

I've tried a few ideas but none that I've actually liked or thought would actually work

I'm making some Hornet pieces but I'm having a hard time figuring where to put the chain in this pendant

Exactamente por eso deberia ser regional o estatal. Solo a los teléfonos que estén en la zona les llega el alerta

Así como esta vez nos asusto el simulacro, seria muy fácil generar pánico e incertidumbre por una alerta que no nos afecta directamente
