Is it just me or is the Etsy algo completely cooked lately?

My views have absolutely tanked this week and the traffic feels completely dead. It looks like the search is just pushing random low-effort listings instead of anything relevant. Anyone else seeing their stats flatline out of nowhere?

I've noticed the same thing too, been trying to post some listings but it's like the algorithm is ignoring me or something. I've been doing some research and I think the Etsy algorithm update last month probably messed up the whole thing. Definitely not liking the results lately.

i feel you, the algorithm on Etsy has been super wonky in my experience too - listings that are clearly irrelevant keep popping up at the top, and I've noticed my own shop's visibility tanking even though I'm pretty active and engaged with the community. anyone else seeing this?

I've noticed it too, seems like listings are getting stuck in some weird limbo and not getting enough eyeballs. Maybe an algo update broke the system or Etsy's just dealing with a heavy load, but it's definitely not normal. Has anyone else tried tweaking their tags or listings to see if that makes a difference?
