A few people on etsy.. Friendship bracelets

I have come across a ton of amazing artists on etsy, and really nice to boot. But I am so sick of seeing threads on ETC. where people post nothing but insults and sheer stupidity. I am not going to name names, or call out. But it just seems that every time i log onto etsy, someone is just plain mean. I remember when I first joined etsy in 2006.. wow. its been that long? shit. i came across some of the sweetest people who helped me find my way on etsy and didn't mock me for being new and having stupid questions. Now I see people ask the simplest questions and they get pushed out of the way and buried. A few weeks back someone posted a list about things not to do on etsy to get hearted. Well they said that you should never sell friendship bracelets, or something about you know you are new to etsy when you sell friendship bracelets. Fuck you, if you can make some awesome friendship bracelets, go for it. I see the person deleted the post, but it still made me angry. Friendship bracelets were the first piece of jewelry I could make, and it made me feel mocked, like friendship bracelets weren't a real thing. I felt like when you post, perhaps you should think about what you say because there are a lot of young kids out there, still learning and when you say selling or making something like friendship bracelets aren't good enough to get hearted, it makes you look like a bitch, and maybe you are. I do realize they say that it is a joke, but seriously... it wasn't very funny.

Here is are two sellers on etsy who makes AMAZING friendship bracelets, I envy!

These are just two of so many amazing artists on Etsy that seller friendship bracelets, and they are having major success, so that goes to show that even if you sell something as meager as friendship bracelets you will still have success.
