This was already the case. I have seen tons of junk on Etsy that is clearly just drop shipped mass manufacured crap from China exactly as you would find on Aliexpress or whatever. Thier “hand made” aspect has been widely underpoliced for years. All they’re doing now is finally dropping the facade.

Exactly. Etsy has been dead for a long while now, it’s basically 90% import crap that is available on other sites as well, typically for a lower price, too, due to Etsy’s fee structure.
I also feel the few items that are reminiscent of what Etsy became known for are now priced rather absurdly.
