that just resolves back to the original problem that Tindie solved, discoverability.
It's like saying people are fleeing ebay for Shopify. Yeah, I guess -- but that only really solves the merchant sales problem.
I buy from indie elec shops directly when I can, but the problem is that I commonly discover those shops thru tindie. Word of mouth/discord/etc isn't nearly as a great a tool as a searchable refreshing index.
