I'm really dissapointed in where Slickdeals has ended up

When I discovered this site it was a bunch of people hunting deals and sharing them, it feels like those days are gone and it's turned into a place for generic Amazon products to be pushed by the staff. I used to refer people here every chance I got, it was a great place, I hate to see what it's become. New accounts created to push junk products and write fake reviews here just make it that much worse. It may be making more profits now, but I feel it's going to hurt the site in the long run.

- to the extent that with most other sites, shipping makes shopping elsewhere pointless.
With fewer brick and mortar stores, the monopoly of Amazon, Target, and Walmart on
both retail and e-commerce, there just aren't as many deals. The quality will continue to get
worse too. It's just a sign of the times. I miss the great in store deals and freebies and having
survey companies send cash in the mail, but things have been changing for awhile. Time to
look ahead and not back.
Sam's Club had a great deal on a Bluey 12v ride on car. Amazon is the low hanging fruit but there are others. The site also makes it a bit harder to post some deals too.
