This article would be no different if it said "Trying to make a living on a startup? Think again."
The quotes are all just as applicable. Can you do it? "Technically ... yes" and "I would be on welfare! LOL … I wish!" and "very few people ... make a full time income from [startups]."
Tell me how that's different?
In Etsy, as in any life beyond regular old boring ass employment, only some people have the combination of vision, understanding of their market, rage to master, ability to learn and improve, and dedication to the hard work to make it happen.
Most people just don't cut it. Here on HN, and on Etsy. And everywhere else in the world.
If anyone thinks that reading startup blogs, or selling crafts on Etsy, is going to be their winning lottery ticket, they are mistaken.
