Amber on Nostr: quick question, has anyone else noticed the "black friday" deals have gotten worse ...
quick question, has anyone else noticed the "black friday" deals have gotten worse and worse over the years? I remember when I was younger I was in a blackfriday line at walmart sitting there waiting to buy my brother a nintendo 3ds. We got a deal on it and that was nice, I used to be excited to go to Microcenter, Frys (rip) and BestBuy... nowadays all of the black Friday deals are just not worth it anymore. Cyber monday is meh, it's not like it was. I don't know, maybe it has always been bad but I've noticed my parents, my grandparents don't even bother doing black Friday shopping either so maybe it's not just me? I'm going to gloss over the psychology behind black friday and the fact that sales with reduced prices and 'exclusive deals' are very much addictive and get a lot of people to purchase (pardon my french) shit that they don't fucking need.
