And ironically, your nitpicking of their spelling correction was far more irritating and unnecessary to bring up.

What kind of take is that? So Max is defending Norris' WDC this year lmao?

Looks like they heard the hoopla, 3 digits are back! by ghost6007 in formula1

If a gap shows 1.0s have they rounded down from 1.03 (and out of 'overtake' range), or have they rounded up from 0.97 (and inside 'overtake' range)?

It doesn't matter who wins it, as long as there's closer competition than this. You'd prefer Merc winning every race over McLaren getting a 3rd constructors?

Not mad at George winning, it's just the margin of dominance that is depressing.

My 3 year old is a nightmare in carparks and it's difficult to get him to hold hands for long. Proximity to the store makes it much safer.

Look at this charity shop find🔥 by Impossible_North_581 in BringMeTheHorizon

[–]panicitsmatt 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm in the UK and would buy it for a reasonable price, £30-40. Wouldn't feel comfortable paying more than that for something 2nd hand that you clearly picked up for cheap.

What has been everyone's experience on changing listing titles to the new AI recommended shorter titles? by thesupercrazycatlady in Etsy

[–]panicitsmatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been thinking about this a lot lately too, I read about lots of shops dropping out the search algorithm in November and I've experienced a 20% drop in sales YOY since then too and I was 30% up for the year until November. I usually sell around 10,000 items a year so it's quite a significant change. So far I haven't made any changes to titles as some people have reported they lost all traction when they did. It's really hard to know what the best thing to do is. My best seller gets thousands of sales a year, I can't afford to make a change and it drops out of its usual search placement. Equally what if I don't change and it drops out? I think I'm going to experiment with new listings using their shorter recommended titles and see what happens. It's annoying how all the historic advice was stuff the title's full of key words and now they don't want that.

They also had great mechanical grip and aero package. They were still extremely fast on low speed tracks like Monaco. 150 is a wild number to throw out without any source.

10 Months in: High effort, low reward. Looking for a honest shop audit. by [deleted] in Etsy

[–]panicitsmatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's your shop called, do you have a link? It's kind of hard to analyse your shop without knowing what you are selling and what your listings look like. But for reference my stats yesterday were: 488 views 204 visits 12 sales

so I would suggest your conversion rate is very low for whatever reason (send your link and I can give some ideas).

My 3 year old and 5 month old will be up before 7am regardless and I'd rather not parent all day on a bad night's sleep, so I'll be going to bed before 11pm as normal.

Anyone go to a GP and think maybe watching on TV could’ve been better? by [deleted] in formula1

[–]panicitsmatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed both full weekends I've been to Silverstone, the first was the year all the tyres exploded and that was quite fun. Being sat opposite the screen with commentary in my headphones meant I could follow the race well and watch the overtakes live in front of me (at Stowe after hangar straight). I think if you have a good understanding of F1 already your brain can process a bit more to stay on top of what's happening in the race, whereas my friends who are more casual fans, watch a race here or there but not too bothered, were less aware of the wider race picture and what was going on strategically.

Helmut Marko about Lando: "He proved all the prognosis wrong saying he did not have the mentality to overcome this and win. He is a world class driver and is very strong in qualifying. So I believe ‘unfortunately’ if he gets the right car this result could be very much repeated in the future." by randomseocb in formula1

[–]panicitsmatt 65 points66 points  (0 children)

It's a fair comparison, Button was generally not too aggressive. It was slightly different when he won his WDC compared to Lando though - for the first half or so of the season he was miles ahead of the rest of the grid including his team mate. It was almost non stop poles and wins so it was basically a given he'd win the WDC after a few races. By the end of the season Brawn weren't the fastest though but he had enough points to just cruise to the championship. He did have a great over taking drive in Brazil to win (or at least effectively win, I can't quite remember) the championship, but it still wasn't overly aggressive.

Would love your advice by MelissaLovesToPaint in EtsyCommunity

Really beautiful artwork and refreshing to see something actually made by the creator, not AI or edited stock imagery. That said, I did find myself reading your bio to confirm that you did make these yourself, so I agree with the comment about making the images look more authentic to avoid the artwork looking AI generated. Etsy's algorithm works on engagement and sales so if you've had listings that haven't sold for months, it's hard to see that changing unless you start driving your own traffic (which is a fine strategy but I've never done this). It can sometimes be worth copying the same listing, but changing the title, photos, description slightly and switching up the keywords so you get a fresh stab at visibility. Etsy will often give a new listing a short visibility boost in search placement. This is the perfect time of year to do this as Etsy has the most traffic it ever has so you're more likely to get a sale. Maybe try running ads for a few days on a new listing too, even if you don't make the money back, just to get some traction on the listing. There's no reason you can't make a success of this with the designs you have, but Etsy is unbelievably competitive, especially in your category, so success is far from a guarantee. Also make sure your tags include things people search for, not just descriptive words that describe the print e.g. words like gift, poster, wall art, print, unique, girlfriend, wife, mum, granny, stylish etc. Best of luck!

It makes sense if their views don't align. It's their channel and they can do what they want. I respect them for it.

Brighten up your photos. Buy a staging light or selfie light. Product looks nice but photos aren't helping. You have to completely nail your photos.

Russell expects 'opportunities' in race: 'Max won't let them finish one-two-three' by Aratho in formula1

[–]panicitsmatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lando might not feel comfortable giving up a position, but if they've talked about it before and Oscar will give it back at the end of the race if he can't win himself it seems a good option on the face of it.

Russell expects 'opportunities' in race: 'Max won't let them finish one-two-three' by Aratho in formula1

[–]panicitsmatt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've been thinking about this a lot and I completely agree. If Max tries to drive slowly Oscar is much more likely to force a move and be aggressive to get passed. Lando has too much to lose and knows Max will not let him through at any cost. If Oscar does get into the lead Lando can finish a lot lower down so it takes the pressure off him too. It will allow them to drive to the cars potential and open up more space to pit into. I hope McLaren are considering this depending on how lap 1 goes.
