While you're not wrong on a meta level, complaining about policy changes like this sometimes balloons into massive PR hits, which can in turn lead to reversals. So it's not entirely true that complaining is doing nothing.

> You don't like Etsy policies go elsewhere.

But "if you don't like [company X's] policies go elsewhere" isn't always viable from a business standpoint, right? I don't know how close Etsy gets to monopoly in their niches, but there's probably a measurable advantage to being there -- customers who, when they're thinking of buying some (theoretically) handmade arts and crafts-ish knickknack, go straight to Etsy and browse specific categories and keywords.
