But there are exceptions. “You’re all free to hiss,” Chad Dickerson said after quoting Friedman in a speech at a corporate social responsibility conference in late 2014. Dickerson, then the 42-year-old chairman and CEO of Etsy Inc., paused for a moment, as the audience hissed and laughed. Then, for good measure, he hissed himself.

Am I crazy? I have never heard an audience hiss. I've heard them boo, but never hiss. I can't find any examples of it. I think this hiss shit is a myth.

The Barbarians Are at Etsy’s Hand-Hewn, Responsibly Sourced Gates - Bloomberg

'Etsy sellers have long complained that the site’s search engine shows listings for newer sellers ahead of older, more established ones. '

'Michaels is also just the sort of company that might emerge as a “strategic alternative” for Etsy’s business. '

'When Amazon.com Inc. launched a competing platform, Handmade, in 2015 and tried to get Jordan (along with other prominent Etsy sellers) to list on the site, she said no. '

'The idea was to make sure shares were available to Etsy sellers and to create a shareholder base that would be sympathetic to Dickerson’s vision of a more conscientious brand of capitalism. '

'Today there are just a handful of public B Corps; Etsy is one of only two traded on a major U.S. exchange. '
