Because it gets spammy. This is the third time you've shared this exact photo with a link to your Etsy, and I saw all your other identical posts as well. If other people start doing it too then Lemmy just becomes Etsy spam.

I get it, I used to have an Etsy store and marketing is hard. But I hate being advertised at.

    Maybe spend some time off the internet or keep your thoughts to yourself? You could’ve kept on scrolling and said nothing and tbh, that would’ve been the smart thing. I’m allowed to share the things I create and that I love making and your negative attitude isn’t wanted nor welcomed.

    EDIT: also going through all my comments and downvoting them is childish. Grow up and go outside.

    You said you keep getting banned on Reddit and didn't know why, I was just explaining to you why. That what you're doing is spam. It's just an ad disguised as a regular post. Being a small business doesn't give you a pass. Lemmy isn't that active, if you keep reposting it's going to be noticeable.

    Feel free to post your art, but you don't have to include the Etsy link if it's actually about the art, and you could try posting something new instead of the same thing over and over again.

    Also publicly posting art is inviting criticism and opinions. Not that I critiqued your art, or said anything about it really. Just that your posts are ads/spam.

    Sorry you don't like being called out 🤷‍♂️

    I just reopened my Etsy in April and I’ve had trouble with getting new Reddit accounts for years. They banned an old roommate of mine and I think they think I’m her so maybe don’t assume because you’re very much wrong about that.

    My posts aren’t ads or spam. I’m new to Lemmy and am finding different communities where I would like to share and post and get involved with like-minded people. Clearly most people haven’t seen my soaps before because you’re the only one complaining about seeing them before (which again I urge you to cut down your screen time if you’re seeing the same thing over and over. Lemmy is small but not that small). That’s very much a you problem. And ues it’s art, I majored in it in college and I know it invites criticism and opinion. But you’re not criticizing my art, you’re criticizing me and my posts. So you don’t get to use that excuse.

    I highly recommend next time you see something you don’t like, maybe don’t comment on it. Again your opinion was extremely rude and negative and the internet doesn’t cater to your tastes. You don’t have to look or comment or buy from me. It’s actually quite easy, and once you figure out how to do that I think you’ll be a lot less miserable.

    Posting a product photo and a link with where to buy it is not an ad?

    It's literally just your soap on a plain white background. I thought the first one was pretty, then I saw it again and noticed your Etsy link. Then I saw it a third time. And now it's happened again, for the third time with this post. It's spam.

    You jumped to defensive and angry very quickly at one negative response, and it wasn't even about your soap itself. That tells me you know what you're doing.

    Like I said, Lemmy is not active enough that reposting goes unnoticed. Trying to blame me for being annoyed at your spam is not the go.

    I’m defensive and angry because you’re being a jerk. Yes I posted the same photo before, yes I posted my Etsy link before, but I spread those posts out so I don’t spam. I found a new community where I wanted to share my art and I did and now you and some other chronically online loser are harassing and bullying me for it, which I won’t stand for. The internet is huge and doesn’t cater exclusively to you. If you don’t like what you see, go somewhere else or keep your thoughts to yourself. You can post your opinions just fine but they’re wrong when they’re about me, saying “I know what I’m doing” and that I’m purposely spamming when I’m not. That’s harassment and bullying and I don’t take kindly to that.

    Again, if you don’t like my posts, scroll by and don’t comment. No one is holding you hostage and you’re choosing to act like a jerk and harass a small business owner of your own free will. That speaks more to your character than it does mine.

    Okay you AND them are the only ones complaining lol. I tend to scroll right past when I don’t like a post or I have seen it before. I suggest you do the same as not everything needs your opinion.

    Lmao bruh. Im allowed to post my opinion as much as youre allowed to advertise here, probably even more.

    Piss of with your butthurt and ad posts. Take some new photos, make new content. Simple as that

    Edit:aww did you go through my comment history the same way you whined about someone doing to yours? Youre cute, but you need to stop telling people to grow up when youre obviously around 9 y/o mentally

    As if I’d waste my time on a miserable troll like you lol. Seeing as the vast majority of feedback I have here is positive I think people just don’t like others projecting their own misery onto others who are just trying to share their craft with a community who appreciates it more than some chronically online neckbeard complaining about seeing the same picture twice. Go outside and make friends or donate to charity or something 😂

    Theyre right though, you have already posted content like this multiple times, that makes it advertising.
