I got the same 2 alerts for the baby swing and Sound of Music.

Per my notifications they matched a Deal Alert called "Any thread - rating alert" even though I have no such alert and never had.

I'm getting the same since yesterday. Tons of emails for things that don't match any of the categories specified in my alerts. Seems like the alerts are only checking keywords now and no longer applying category limiters, though I guess people could suddenly be spamming their posts across a bunch of unrelated categories.

Today it seems like SD broke deal alerts.

I'm getting deal alerts for stuff that's completely irrelevant to what I set my alerts to be.

These got triggered for any deals from brand "Osprey", which is completely wrong.

These 2 deals got triggered for "Chipotle".

Thank you all for reporting this. The team is actively working on fixing this issue and it should hopefully be fixed within the next hour or so.
